He uses a variety of therapeutic techniques to assist the client to resolve the problem. These approaches include (but are not limited to) cognitive-behavioral strategies, solution focused techniques, support, developing insight, conflict negotiation and management, communication skills training, and assistance with connecting with community resources.
