In conversation he uses straightforward language and practical steps, so people leave with concrete things to try between sessions. His approach draws on narrative ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques to examine unhelpful patterns and rewrite the stories that keep someone stuck. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings and move toward what matters.
Attachment-based work guides conversations about close relationships and how early experiences show up today. Dakota focuses on everyday concerns like parenting stress, relationship strain, career decisions, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. He also has clinical experience with chronic illness, caregiver stress, addiction issues, and trauma-related difficulties.
Sessions may include skills practice, reflective storytelling, and goal setting tailored to each person’s needs. Practical matters are handled plainly. Dakota offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
Cost varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To get started, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them.

Online session options
How narrative and evidence-based approaches work online
Many of Dakota's methods translate well to remote sessions. Narrative work helps people look at the stories they tell about themselves and try alternative meanings; it can be done through conversation, written exercises, and focused reflection. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing painful thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based action, and it often includes short experiential exercises that fit well into video or text formats. Attachment-based work examines how early relationship patterns shape current connections and uses dialogue to practice new ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dakota treats therapy as a collaboration and will help you decide which combination of methods makes sense for your goals and daily life. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan as needed so it feels useful and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins or between-session support. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical routines while keeping consistent progress.
