Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Dr. Baker often blends Gottman Method ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based work. Gottman-informed ideas focus on improving communication and everyday relationship habits to lower conflict and increase connection. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and simple mindfulness skills to reduce avoidance and build a more meaningful day-to-day life. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns formed in relationships and helps people understand how those patterns shape current bonds and reactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs. Over time she checks in and adjusts techniques so the work stays relevant and useful for your situation.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face-to-face for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you need a quicker check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, coaching moments, and ongoing reflection between sessions.
