01 · Who Rev. works with

Rev. works with stress, Anxiety, relationship issues and family conflicts

Rev. lists 14 specialisms and 24 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Rev. chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.

02 · In Rev.'s own words

What Rev. says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I have 30 + years doing Professional/Pastoral Counseling experience in a variety of settings in South Carolina. I am an ordained Minister, Life and Relationship Coach and Certified Career and Job Development and Transition Coach. In addition to being seminary trained with a Master of Divinity, I did post-graduate work in Marriage and Family Therapy and have certifications in Gottman Couples Therapy, Couples Communication, Imago , PREP, PAIRS and Relationship Enhancement.

I work with individuals and couples to work through issues and transitions by helping them set and meet goals to produce a more satisfying and meaningful life. I do this by assessing all the strengths and "growing edges" they possess and help them with the best of Emotional/Relational and Cognitive Therapy, a Jungian frame, Ericksonian Insights, Strategic Family work and Human Needs Psychology.

I do much of my counseling using Assessment tools like PREPARE/ENRICH and SYMBIS for premarital Couples. I also use StrenghtFinders, MBTI I and II, Strong Interest and am a Certified Enneagram Coach.

I would be honored to work with you to be everything you were created to be!

03 · How Rev. works

The 8 approaches Rev. lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Rev. lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Rev.'s - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Rev. runs a session.

Acceptance and Commitment TherapyACT

Rather than trying to argue a painful thought away, ACT works on loosening its grip and getting on with what matters to you anyway. Sessions spend real time naming your values, then building action around them while difficult feelings are still present.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Dialectical Behaviour TherapyDBT

A structured skills-led adaptation of CBT built around holding two things at once: accepting yourself as you are and working to change. Teaches concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation and relationships. Developed for people whose feelings arrive at overwhelming intensity, and strongest-evidenced there.

Emotionally Focused TherapyEFT

Built for couples and rooted in attachment: the recurring argument is treated as a cycle two people are stuck in rather than as one person's fault. Sessions work to interrupt the cycle and get to what each person is actually asking for underneath it.

The Gottman Method

A couples approach built on decades of observational research into what distinguishes relationships that last. Structured and assessment-led: it maps friendship, conflict and shared meaning, then works on the specific mechanics of how the two of you argue.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Works on the assumption that current patterns - in relationships, at work, in how you treat yourself - have a history, and that seeing the history loosens the pattern. Less structured than CBT, usually longer, and more interested in what comes up unbidden than in a weekly agenda.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Rev. practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Rev.'s own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Rev. at this point.

2. Naming Rev. specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Rev. is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Rev..

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Rev.

Built from what Rev. actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Rev.'s - Rev. has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “With 33 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”

  Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

Where every line on this page came from

Rev.'s name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Rev.. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
