Online support
How relationship work and mindfulness translate online
Corrie draws on the Gottman Method to help people improve communication and reduce recurring conflict, using structured conversations and practical exercises to shift interaction patterns. She also uses Hypnotherapy techniques when helpful to address habits, anxiety, and sleep problems by guiding focused relaxation and suggestion work. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and increase emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Corrie works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person's goals and daily life. Together they try strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan to meet changing needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules. Video is useful for longer conversations and interactive exercises, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports brief check-ins, and messaging helps with ongoing feedback between sessions. These options make it simpler to stick with the work and apply new skills in real time.
