He specializes in evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based techniques. Rex is particularly skilled in treating anxiety-related disorders, including OCD and social anxiety, using tools like exposure and response prevention (ERP) and rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT).

He is passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, veterans, neurodivergent clients, and those exploring self-worth, masculinity, or nontraditional relationships. Outside of therapy, Rex finds joy in spending time with his children, traveling, cooking, and connecting through meaningful conversations.
