Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify what is working, spot small shifts, and build steps that feel doable for daily life. In practice he combines approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to meet immediate needs and longer-term goals. He works by talking through patterns, testing simple changes, and reviewing what helps.
The goal is to uncover each person’s own answers and strengthen coping skills. His background includes clinical work in hospitals, a crisis stabilization setting, and independent practice, along with teaching as an adjunct college professor. Bernard holds a KS LCPC credential, which is listed as his professional licence.
He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.

Bernard prefers a collaborative process that centers on clear goals and practical steps people can use between appointments.

04Online support
How these approaches work online
Bernard uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and homework to test small changes between meetings.He also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process painful events and reduce their ongoing impact. That work moves at a careful pace and focuses on skills to manage strong reactions and rebuild daily routines.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client will talk about goals, what feels comfortable, and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. Adjustments are made as progress is seen or priorities change so the plan stays useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people have a fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth, live chat and messaging work well for quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and different comfort levels, while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
