About Max
Max Higa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings six years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma. He listens first and helps people name what matters to them. Sessions focus on small, practical steps that feel doable each week.
Many clients come with relationship strain, grief, or concerns about intimacy and self-esteem. Max also works with people navigating LGBT-related issues, prejudice, and shame. He pays attention to how attachment, dependency, and isolation shape daily life and choices.
Background and approach
In sessions he uses clear, collaborative methods rather than jargon. He helps people notice thoughts and feelings, try new behaviors, and practice skills that reduce distress. Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person’s needs.
Max draws on several evidence-based approaches to tailor work to the individual. He uses tools from cognitive behavioral methods to shift unhelpful thinking. He also applies acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build a meaningful direction.
Clients can expect practical homework, symptom management skills, and space to process painful events. Max emphasizes steady progress over quick fixes and supports people through setbacks. He works from Colorado and conducts sessions in English.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT is often used for persistent anxiety, depression, and situations that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it is helpful for anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and what methods feel comfortable. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for longer, interactive work and skills practice. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and flexible pacing that can fit into a busy schedule.
