Dr. Douglas Treese is a psychologist with a PhD in Counseling Psychology and 36 years of experience. He practices in Arizona and works with adults on stresses that include anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and life transitions.

Dr. Treese lists jealousy among his focus areas and helps people talk through its impact on relationships.

He prefers a collaborative style where clients and therapist share ideas on equal footing. Sessions begin by mapping the problems or goals a person brings. From there he and the client identify what psychological or behavior changes are needed and how they might be achieved.

Practical steps and follow-through are part of his work. After identifying changes, he supports clients in setting up ways to establish and maintain those changes over time. He draws on a range of approaches to match the work to the person’s needs.

His background includes work in psychiatric hospitals, managed care agencies, and independent practice. That variety has informed his approach to common life stressors and complex emotional concerns. He communicates directly and keeps response timelines clear.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that reflect their values; it can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation for change. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current patterns of closeness and trust, supporting work on relationship strains and issues like jealousy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought patterns and behaviors to create practical changes in mood and coping, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up in daily life. Together they choose or combine methods that fit the person and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, make it easier to keep regular appointments, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also let clients use quieter surroundings or avoid travel time, which helps maintain momentum between sessions. Licensed professionals tailor the mix of techniques and pacing to match each person’s needs.
