Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, emphasizes identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behavior and emotional responses; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. The Gottman Method focuses on improving relationship communication, increasing emotional connection, and resolving conflicts through research-based interventions for couples. These approaches are presented in clear, actionable ways so clients can apply new tools between sessions.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and the therapist works collaboratively with each person or couple to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they set treatment objectives and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, prioritizing what matters most to the client.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit consistent care into daily life. These formats help reduce travel time, increase scheduling flexibility, and allow clients to receive support from home or other convenient locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists who guide the therapeutic process.
