He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, addiction issues, and trauma.

Horace listens first. He offers a nonjudgmental space and asks clear questions to help identify what matters most. He encourages actionable steps and challenges people to do the hard work that leads to change.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings as well as topics you want to talk through in the room. His approach mixes client-centered conversation with cognitive behavioral tools. That means conversations that follow your experience paired with concrete strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
He also uses attachment ideas to help with closeness and trust issues and EMDR-based work for trauma when appropriate. Horace draws on decades of practice helping men and others sort out fatherhood issues, family of origin problems, codependency, commitment worries, and intimacy concerns. He also supports people dealing with shame, guilt, isolation, and questions of life purpose.
The goal is clearer relationships and more predictable emotional responses. Sessions are offered in English and are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. He is based in Texas and works within the structure of a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

04Online support
How his approaches work in online sessions
Horace uses client-centered methods that keep the conversation focused on the person's experience. In this approach the therapist listens closely, reflects what is said, and follows the client's lead to build understanding and trust. It helps when someone needs to feel heard and understood.He also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try out different responses. CBT in online sessions often means setting specific goals, practicing new ways of thinking between meetings, and tracking small changes over time to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Horace will discuss goals and preferences and recommend which methods to use together. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or needs shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading body language. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are handy for brief check-ins, quick coping tips, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
