Background and approach
He pairs clinical insight with an emphasis on practical coping skills, addressing related issues such as control struggles, guilt and shame, forgiveness, life purpose, midlife challenges, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. Dr.
Ogles works with clients to identify realistic goals and build strategies that fit each person’s circumstances. In addition to providing a limited number of counseling hours each week, he serves as a full-time professor training doctoral students and teaching undergraduates while conducting psychotherapy research.

Prospective clients should expect a collaborative process that respects individual pace and readiness to change, with scheduling shaped around his teaching and research commitments.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Ogles commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy when working with clients. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing an empathetic, accepting environment in which clients can explore feelings and develop their own solutions, which supports work on self-esteem, motivation, and forgiveness.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will explore a client’s goals, preferences, and concerns together to determine which methods fit best, and he adjusts strategies over time based on progress and feedback.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it possible to maintain steady therapeutic work around teaching and research commitments while accessing licensed professionals who use evidence-informed methods to address stress, mood, trauma-related concerns, and life transitions.
