Dr. Behler brings 15 years of clinical experience to sessions and aims to make each meeting straightforward and useful.

He listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating, such as attachment and abandonment concerns or codependency.

He works with issues that include trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, communication problems, and anger management.

Dr. Behler has a Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology, a Master of Divinity in Theology, and a Master’s in Professional Counseling. He holds the credential LCMHC and the credential LPC, and he has worked with people facing chronic illness, blended family issues, and complicated grief. His background also includes time supporting clergy and military members with stress and trauma-related concerns.

Sessions move at a practical pace. He helps people break big problems into small steps. He also addresses career strain, body image worries, and problems tied to addiction. People who come for help can expect straightforward feedback and an emphasis on skills they can use between sessions.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Dr. Behler draws on practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach helps people identify how attachment and abandonment concerns shape current relationships, then practices new ways of relating to reduce repeated conflicts. Another technique targets trauma recovery by teaching grounding and emotion-regulation skills, useful for people coping with past abuse or disaster-related stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. Progress is reviewed together so the plan can be adjusted when something is not working.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions let therapy fit around work, caregiving, or travel by removing commute time and offering more flexible scheduling. Remote work can also make shorter check-ins easier and reduce the need to be on camera for every meeting. Ask about current session options to find what fits daily life best.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
