Therapeutic Approaches and Online Relationship Care

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early bonds shape present-day connection patterns and emotional responses. It helps clients and couples understand attachment styles, address fears around closeness, and build more secure, responsive ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns and replacing them with more adaptive skills. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, negative self-beliefs, and the practical steps involved in changing how someone responds to distress.

The Gottman Method offers practical tools for improving communication, resolving conflict, and strengthening friendship and intimacy within partnerships. It emphasizes observable interaction patterns and skill-building to support healthier relationship dynamics.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Nicholson works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines approaches as appropriate and adjusts the plan over time based on progress and client feedback.

Online therapy with Dr. Nicholson can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not practical.
