Online support
How Elisa’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Elisa integrates the Gottman Method principles with client-centered and cognitive-behavioral work. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and connection in relationships, teaching practical skills to manage conflict and rebuild trust. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and tailoring sessions to each person's priorities, creating space for the client to guide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete strategies that people can practice between sessions, useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Elisa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life context. That might mean focusing on relationship skills in some sessions and on CBT techniques or mindfulness exercises in others to build coping tools.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people practice communication skills in real time, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, tracking progress, or getting support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules or different life situations.
