About Douglas

Dr. Douglas Treese is an Arizona psychologist who draws on decades of clinical experience to help adults facing depression, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, and life transitions. He earned a PhD in Counseling Psychology in 1988 and brings 36 years of practice to his work. He meets people where they are and focuses on clear, practical steps forward.

He uses a collaborative approach in sessions. Conversations begin by mapping what is causing the problem or what the person wants to change. Together they identify psychological and behavioral shifts that could help. Sessions focus on concrete changes and how to carry them into daily life.

Dr. Treese has worked in psychiatric hospitals, managed care agencies, and private practice. That variety shaped how he thinks about treatment and real-world change. He pays attention to how relationships, upbringing, and life events influence current struggles.

His methods draw from several evidence-informed approaches, selected to match each person's needs and goals. He helps people set achievable steps, test new behaviors, and track progress over time. The overall aim is to build lasting ways of coping and relating.

Dr. Treese sees adults individually and provides marriage and relationship counseling when appropriate. He communicates in English and accepts international clients.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for depression, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It often includes homework and skill-building exercises. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating, which can be helpful for relationship strain and ongoing interpersonal problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss which methods seem to fit each person's goals, preferences, and situation. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and reduce travel time. Some formats allow shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when video is difficult, while other options support a fuller face-to-face feeling. Talk with the therapist when scheduling to pick the setup that best matches your needs and schedule.
