Online support
Using evidence-based approaches online
Derrick uses the Gottman Method to focus on communication patterns and improving connection between people. That approach emphasizes practical exercises and clearer ways to talk about difficult topics. He also uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions follow what matters most to the person and build from their strengths.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Derrick will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress is made. The process is a partnership rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls let people work face-to-face when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging make it possible to have ongoing support between longer sessions and to fit moments of processing into a busy day.
