His work addresses a range of concerns including depression, anxiety, interpersonal difficulties, stress, mid- and later-life adjustment, grief, life plan development, and self-esteem.

Dr. Treese approaches counseling as a collaborative process in which the therapist and client share ideas and search for practical solutions.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Dr. Treese uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT is practical for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes because it emphasizes committed behavior linked to what matters most to the individual.

Attachment-Based Therapy is another focus, addressing relationship patterns that stem from early bonds and how those patterns affect current connections. This approach can be helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, communication problems, and building more secure emotional ties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Treese works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques from different models as appropriate, with the client’s input guiding the plan.

Online therapy with Dr. Treese is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, or travel and allow licensed professionals and therapists to support progress in ways that match a client’s schedule and communication style.
