About Shay

He draws on his background in counseling to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood shifts, and problems tied to trauma or addiction. Shay meets each person where they are and focuses on practical steps that fit daily life.

He looks for patterns that get in the way of feeling better. Sessions often include talking through thoughts, feelings, and actions to understand how past and present situations connect.

Background and approach

He guides clients in setting realistic goals and breaking those goals into small, doable steps.

He also integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior strategies for emotion regulation and coping.

Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in to support awareness and readiness for change. Parents and caregivers may find his approach practical, especially when stress and role strain feel overwhelming.

Online support

Attachment and Skills Work Online

Shay commonly uses attachment-based ideas to examine how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and connections. This approach helps people notice habitual ways of relating, understand emotional triggers, and explore safer ways to connect with others.

He also applies cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used for managing intense emotions, building distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Shay will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals, strengths, and comfort level. He adjusts tactics as progress unfolds so sessions stay relevant and useful.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy routine while keeping consistent momentum.
