How his approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Zerka draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening to the person's concerns and responding to what they bring up rather than following a strict script. That approach helps when people want to talk through family patterns or relationship dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear ways to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related work challenges, and sleep or eating issues. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for handling strong emotions and reducing impulsive behavior, useful for anger, substance-related problems, and stress management.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will explain options, try different techniques, and adjust based on a person’s goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical steps you can use between meetings.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find virtual sessions help maintain consistency with work or school schedules and let therapists and clients focus on skill practice and problem solving in real time.
