Clyde favors a respectful, straightforward style. He works to create a space where people can say what matters to them and practice new ways of coping. Progress is measured in real-life changes that the client notices.

He has worked with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, panic, social anxiety, self-esteem, and issues related to aging.

How Clyde’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT often uses practical exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that clients can try between sessions to reduce anxiety and depression.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports noticing difficult feelings without letting them derail meaningful action. In teletherapy, ACT uses values clarification and simple at-home exercises to help people pursue what matters despite discomfort.

Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns in close relationships and how they affect current feelings and reactions. Through discussion and reflective exercises, clients can practice different ways of connecting and communicating during remote sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and do longer sessions, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing, flexible communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
