About Ace
He brings five years as an LPC to his counseling, and a broader 17-year history in mental health roles. That background informs a practical approach that blends several methods rather than relying on a single technique. Sessions tend to focus on goals people can try between meetings, like shifting unhelpful thoughts or practicing new ways to cope.
Ace uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice their thoughts and choose meaningful action. He also draws on client-centered and existential ideas to keep the work personal and grounded in each person's values. Jungian themes may appear when exploring deeper patterns or life meaning.
In session he helps clients break big problems into manageable steps. Work can include addressing anger, self-esteem, grief, eating and body image concerns, parenting strains, career questions, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life changes. He also supports people dealing with addiction, bipolar, intimacy issues, and compassion fatigue.
Outside of counseling he enjoys reading, writing, and time with his children. His style aims to be straightforward and collaborative, helping people build the next chapter of their lives at a sustainable pace.

Approaches that guide online counseling
Ace commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions tied to their values. ACT and mindfulness often help with stress, anxiety, and coping when emotions feel overwhelming.He also uses client-centered and existential ideas to keep therapy focused on each person's experience and life meaning. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and collaboration, while existential themes invite questions about purpose and choices when facing difficult changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative conversation helps shape whether sessions emphasize values-based action, mindfulness exercises, or exploring deeper life themes.
