About Bard
Dr. Bard Schatzman brings 45 years of clinical experience to work with people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, ADHD, and life transitions.
Background and approach
He practices in Arizona and draws on a long career treating individual, couple, family, and group issues across the lifespan, from parenting and developmental challenges to complex mood and behavioral conditions. His practice also addresses eating and sleeping problems, intimacy and communication struggles, chronic illness or pain, and caregiving stress.
Schatzman approaches therapy as a collaborative process in which the client and therapist shape goals and priorities together. The first session focuses on learning a client’s history and current circumstances so an individualized plan can be established; subsequent work is solution-oriented and may incorporate psychodynamic exploration, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and humanistic client-centered techniques.
He emphasizes practical change achieved through steady effort and supports clients with an encouraging, empowering stance as they pursue agreed-upon goals.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Schatzman integrates cognitive-behavioral and client-centered approaches in online work. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building practical skills for changing behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client’s own perspective, creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where personal strengths and goals guide the process.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist collaborates with clients to clarify their needs, preferences, and goals, then adapts methods over time to find the most effective mix of strategies. This means sessions may include skill-building, exploration of life patterns, or solution-focused planning depending on what best supports the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier for clients in Arizona to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other obligations, and they allow therapists to tailor contact to each person’s rhythm and needs.
