About DOUGLAS JOSEPH PUCHKO

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, navigating life as a neurodivergent individual, processing grief, or facing challenges in your relationship, you don’t have to manage it all on your own. Support is here.

I work with adults from all walks of life — including couples, LGBTQ+ individuals, students, entrepreneurs, and people moving through major life transitions. Whether you’re coping with past trauma, managing bipolar disorder or BPD, working through anger or low self-esteem, or simply feeling stuck, we’ll work together to create a path forward that feels authentic to you.

My approach to online therapy is eclectic, meaning I draw from multiple evidence-based methods to meet your specific needs. These include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Person-Centered techniques, Strengths-Based approaches, and psychoeducation. This allows our work to remain flexible, responsive, and rooted in what helps you most.

Clients often share that online therapy with me feels both grounding and eye-opening — that they leave sessions with new tools, a deeper understanding of themselves, and a sense of direction.

I see online therapy as a collaborative process. We’ll work together to understand the patterns and challenges in your life, build on your strengths, and develop practical strategies to help you thrive — both within yourself and in your relationships.

If starting online therapy feels like a big leap, that’s completely normal. You don’t have to figure it all out before reaching out. I’ll meet you wherever you are in your journey.
