Online support
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online work
Dr. Escobar-Chew combines relationship-focused and emotion-focused methods in online sessions. The Gottman Method involves practical tools for improving communication and reducing conflict, often through structured exercises and skill practice. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and respond to underlying emotions that shape how they relate to others, which can ease patterns of distance or reactivity. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and supporting each person's own choices, helping clients feel heard as they figure out next steps.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She works together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean trying one style first and adjusting as the work evolves, keeping the client's priorities central to planning.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions can fit into a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to schedule regular sessions across different time zones and routines.
