With 27 years of experience in California, Dr. Landry adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs. He listens for what matters most and focuses on practical steps that can fit daily life. He draws on approaches like client-centered work and cognitive behavioral strategies to address patterns of thinking that fuel distress.

In sessions he often uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals. Trauma-focused work guides how he approaches past hurts while keeping immediate coping skills in view. The result is a straightforward plan with steps to try between meetings.

People who prefer an empathic listener and concrete tools may find his way of working a good fit. He invites prospective clients to start by answering a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How his approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your priorities. The therapist follows your lead, reflects what he hears, and helps you clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and offers practical exercises to change those patterns and reduce symptoms.

Picking the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Landry will talk with you about your goals and preferences and recommend techniques that match your needs. Decisions about pace and methods are collaborative, with adjustments as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow brief check-ins when needed, and support homework practice between meetings. Therapists often adapt CBT and motivational interviewing for remote sessions so you can try exercises, track progress, and set small goals that fit everyday life.
