Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Ann Woodford uses evidence-informed methods to guide clients through practical change and healing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve daily functioning. The Gottman Method is a structured approach for couples that strengthens communication, resolves conflict, and builds relationship skills through research-based exercises and dialogue techniques. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on processing and integrating traumatic experiences in ways that reduce their ongoing emotional impact and support recovery from abuse, loss, or other traumatic events.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ann works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and tailors techniques accordingly so that therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model onto every situation.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy lives. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, licensed professionals can provide consistent support without requiring travel. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access help from locations across Ohio and within the therapist's service area.
