Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Jessica often uses the Gottman Method to help partners notice unhelpful interaction patterns and learn clearer, calmer ways to talk about tough topics. The work emphasizes specific communication skills and practical exercises that couples can practice between sessions.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people identify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values despite painful thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and change thinking and behavior that keep stress and low mood active, with straightforward homework and experiments to test new ways of coping.
Choosing the best approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you’ll try methods that fit your situation and adjust the plan as you learn what works.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life while keeping consistent momentum.
