About Chaim
Chaim uses clear, practical conversations to help people handle day-to-day problems. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to identify patterns that keep people stuck and to try different ways of responding. Sessions include concrete coping skills and short experiments to test new behaviors outside sessions.
He also uses client-centered work and mindfulness practices to slow down racing thoughts and to notice what matters in the moment. Motivational Interviewing is part of his approach when someone is weighing change and wants to find the motivation to act. These methods are combined to match each person’s goals and pace.
Chaim often helps people dealing with relationship strain, codependency, commitment doubts, and problems with family dynamics. He also supports people with substance use concerns, impulse control, and healing from domestic violence or abuse, focusing on practical steps and safety planning when needed.
In sessions he offers straightforward psychoeducation, skill-building, and planning for next steps. People who come because they feel directionless or overwhelmed often leave with specific small actions to try between meetings. If you want to explore whether his approach fits, the next step is a short matching questionnaire to set up a first session.

How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing thoughts and values, then taking small actions that match those values. Online work can focus on short exercises to clarify what matters now and simple experiments to test new habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into patterns of thought and behavior. In remote sessions this often means practicing thought records, behavior plans, and homework that fit into daily routines. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s perspective, listening closely and reflecting what matters most. That approach helps people voice doubts about direction and sort priorities out loud.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and schedule. If something doesn’t feel helpful, he adjusts the plan together so sessions stay practical and relevant.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people try exercises at home between sessions. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to focus on skill-building, planning, and real-world practice without requiring travel time.
