Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood-related concerns.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, helping people improve intimacy, communication, and relational stability. It is often helpful for relationship challenges, attachment issues, and family dynamics.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify personal values, accept difficult internal experiences, and take committed action toward meaningful goals. ACT can be useful for managing persistent distress, improving coping, and supporting life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Goodman works with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time to ensure a good match and practical progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity across locations, and select the format that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver effective interventions through these modalities, allowing clients to access consistent support without compromising the therapeutic process.
