Online support
How evidence-based approaches work online
Courtney draws on the Gottman Method to address communication patterns and reduce repeated arguments by teaching practical skills for interaction. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values instead of getting stuck in avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods and adjust as needed so the work fits the person’s life and rhythm.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation when a visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is preferable. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief updates, between-session coaching, or when scheduling a full session is difficult. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
