Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps. Conversations explore what’s getting in the way and what strengths a person already has. The work is collaborative - he helps people set the pace and priorities.
He practices in California and offers services in English. Zachariah supports people who are working through difficult changes and who want practical strategies alongside thoughtful listening.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what each person needs in the moment; online sessions can preserve that conversational, person-focused feel by keeping the agenda flexible and led by the client. Narrative Therapy helps people tell and reshape their life stories; in remote sessions this often looks like guided conversations about dominant themes and new ways to narrate events. Psychodynamic Therapy examines how past experiences affect present behavior and reactions, which can be explored through regular reflective conversations over time.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a few ways of working early on and adjusting as needed to find what helps most.
