Online support
Therapeutic approaches in online care
Ayanna often draws on the Gottman Method to help people improve communication and reduce recurring conflict. This approach focuses on specific interaction patterns and practical ways to repair arguments and rebuild trust. Attachment-Based Therapy is another part of her approach and looks at how early attachment shapes current relationships and emotional responses; it helps people understand and change repeating patterns of closeness and withdrawal.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with clients about their goals, what has or hasn’t worked before, and which methods feel most comfortable. Together they pick techniques and pace that match the person’s needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let therapists and clients read each other’s expressions, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, and chat or messaging work well for quick check-ins or written processing. These options make it easier to keep consistent work on goals while fitting therapy into a busy life.
