He uses clear tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people challenge unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Frank keeps sessions straightforward and focused on immediate concerns. He has seven years of professional experience working with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and concerns related to LGBT identity. He also addresses attention challenges such as ADHD and related issues like impulsivity or difficulties with focus. Frank listens for patterns that make daily life harder and helps people break them into manageable steps. Frank draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. He also uses client-centered approaches to make space for each person’s goals and values. When emotion regulation is needed, he brings in Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach practical coping strategies. Sessions tend to mix skill practice with problem-solving. Frank helps people set small, doable goals and track progress between meetings. He emphasizes strengths and steady steps rather than quick fixes. Frank works from New York and conducts sessions in English. He encourages anyone thinking about therapy to complete a short match questionnaire to find the best fit and schedule a first conversation.

How CBT, ACT, and Mindfulness work online

Frank uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that make daily life easier. CBT sessions often include exercises and homework you can do between meetings to notice patterns and test new responses.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. ACT is useful when avoidance or painful inner experiences get in the way of what matters most. Mindfulness Therapy is woven into both approaches to teach simple attention practices that reduce reactivity and aid emotion regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify goals and then suggests techniques from these methods that fit a person’s needs and preferences. Together you decide what to try and adjust based on how it’s going.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful for hands-on skill coaching and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions are lower bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can offer brief check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
