Approach and online session considerations
Rudy describes an integrative Gestalt approach that focuses on present-moment experience and how people make meaning in relationships. This method often involves noticing patterns in feelings and behavior during sessions and trying out small changes to see what shifts in daily life.He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and to build practical coping skills. Trauma-focused CBT elements are used when past traumatic events affect current functioning, offering structured ways to process trauma and reduce its influence on daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work and is figured out together. Rudy invites clients to discuss what feels most useful, and he adapts techniques to goals, preferences, and the issues brought to sessions.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people join from different locations when travel is difficult. Licensed professionals can use these formats to maintain continuity of care and to offer flexible scheduling that works with everyday life.
