Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Bonnie often combines Gottman Method ideas and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in her online work. Gottman-informed techniques focus on communication patterns and practical exercises to help people notice and change unhelpful interaction habits. ACT helps clients clarify personal values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and take action that fits their goals. These approaches are useful for relationship patterns, anxiety, low mood, and life transitions.Finding the right method is part of the process. Bonnie works collaboratively to identify which techniques fit a person's needs and goals. She checks in about what feels helpful and adjusts the plan as therapy proceeds so work is aligned with each person's priorities.
Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it simpler to fit brief updates or practice exercises into a busy day. These options help people access consistent care while balancing work, caregiving, and other demands.
