01 · Who Ronald works with
Ronald lists 16 specialisms and 36 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Ronald chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Ronald's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
As a licensed therapist in Colorado with over three decades of clinical experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on addressing a wide range of mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions.
I am deeply committed to helping clients work through communication difficulties, social anxiety, isolation, and issues related to self-esteem and personal purpose. My approach is compassionate and tailored, drawing from extensive experience supporting diverse populations, including veterans, first responders, and individuals dealing with workplace challenges.
My therapeutic work centers on creating a supportive environment where clients can explore difficult emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, and rediscover personal strength. Whether you're struggling with panic attacks, relationship transitions, or seeking to understand deeper patterns in your life, I offer a collaborative and understanding approach to healing.
I believe in empowering individuals to overcome obstacles, rebuild self-confidence, and create meaningful, fulfilling lives. Together, we can work towards understanding your unique experiences and developing strategies for personal growth and emotional well-being.

03 · How Ronald works
These are the clinical methods Ronald lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Ronald'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 Ronald runs a session.
04 · What happens next
Ronald 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 Ronald's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
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 Ronald at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Ronald 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 Ronald.
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.
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.
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
Built from what Ronald actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Ronald's - Ronald has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“You list both Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Internal Family Systems. 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.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“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.
