Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy
As a clinician trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dennis uses a structured approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and replace them with more balanced thinking and practical coping skills. CBT is often used for worries, low mood, panic, and stress-related problems and focuses on skills that can be applied between sessions.The Gottman Method offers practical tools for couples to improve communication, resolve conflict, and rebuild trust. It emphasizes understanding interaction patterns, increasing emotional connection, and learning specific strategies for healthier relationship habits.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dennis works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and useful.
