About Skip
He uses clear, direct listening and steady encouragement in sessions. He aims to identify each person’s strengths rather than dwell on weaknesses. Clinical tools include cognitive approaches and narrative ways of looking at problems, paired with spiritual resources when a client chooses that path.
People come to him for help with recovery from sex or porn addiction, alcohol and drug dependency, divorce and infidelity recovery, and premarital communication. He also supports those struggling with self-esteem, anger, sleep problems, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and adjustment during life changes.
Skip holds a master’s degree in community counseling and a divinity degree in theology. He practises in Indiana and brings almost two decades of counseling experience to sessions. The LMHC credential is noted as Indiana LMHC.
Treatment plans are shaped around what the person needs. Sessions mix listening, cognitive techniques, mindfulness ideas, and the chance to reframe one’s story. Clients who prefer faith elements can choose to include scripture or spiritually oriented reflection.
To start, he encourages people to consider their goals and reach out so they can map a practical, step-by-step plan for healing and change.

How therapy approaches translate online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. Online sessions can keep that same supportive tone, letting the therapist reflect concerns and build on strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills for managing mood, anxiety, sleep, and addictive urges. Delivering CBT online makes it easy to review exercises, homework, and step-by-step strategies together. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple awareness and grounding practices to reduce stress and improve attention; these short exercises can be practiced and reviewed between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening and narrative work, structured CBT tools, mindfulness practices, or a combination that includes faith-based material when desired.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Ask about available session options and scheduling when you match. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can use a break at work or connect from a different location. These practical benefits help therapy fit into daily routines without promising a particular format.
