He focuses on helping people who face addiction, depression, trauma, grief, anxiety, and problems with sleep or anger.

Background and approach
Menzo includes strategies that help reduce shame and isolation while building healthier routines and coping habits. Menzo draws on approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods. He adapts these methods to the individual rather than following one fixed plan.
This keeps sessions flexible and relevant to everyday problems at home, work, or school. People can expect a collaborative pace where goals are set together and progress is tracked. Menzo also uses role-based exercises to help people practice new responses and test different ways of handling old patterns.
Those exercises aim to spark more creative and spontaneous problem solving. Menzo speaks English and conducts sessions online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. He works from Virginia and brings decades of experience to help people navigate change and find practical ways forward.

04Online support
Approaches that inform online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room and focuses on being heard and understood; it helps people clarify values and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit the client's rhythm. Sessions are collaborative, and techniques can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and do role-based exercises. Phone calls require less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or texting can work for shorter check-ins or quick skill practice between longer sessions, giving flexibility to fit therapy into a routine.
