He works with adults facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes.

He uses straightforward, practical conversations to help people understand what keeps them stuck. Sessions often center on noticing patterns of thought and behavior, and trying different ways of responding. He draws on approaches that emphasize values, self-directed parts work, and building small coping skills that can be used day to day.
Yechiel has particular experience supporting people who identify with autism or Asperger syndrome and those carrying caregiver strain. He also helps people who struggle with codependency, dependent or avoidant personality patterns, and men’s issues related to identity and purpose. He aims to help clients find clearer choices when old habits no longer fit.
His work often includes focused work on shame and guilt, looking at how these feelings affect relationships and self-worth. He may help clients map triggers, notice protective responses, and practice new ways of acting that align with their values. The pace and focus are set by the client’s needs.
People interested in beginning can expect direct, plain talk about goals and next steps. Yechiel’s practice emphasizes steady skill building and reflection over time.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Acceptance and commitment work focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small, value-based steps. It helps with anxiety, depression, and decisions that follow major life change. Internal parts work looks at different self-states or parts and how they interact, which can be useful for shame, guilt, and patterns like avoidance or self-criticism.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to test what helps, adjusting techniques to match goals and daily life. That means trying an exercise, seeing how it lands, and shifting course when needed.
