Online support
Using relationship-focused and attachment approaches online
Online sessions can use Gottman-informed ideas, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to address connection, patterns, and emotions. The Gottman Method offers concrete strategies to improve how people interact and communicate. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people notice and change repeating patterns. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person's experience and aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Cynthia will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and needs. Together they review what feels most useful and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face from different places. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, writing through thoughts, or when a shorter touchpoint is helpful. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions and to keep momentum between meetings.
