Online support

How approaches like Gottman, ACT, and Attachment work online

Gottman Method work focuses on clear communication and reducing negative cycles. It uses practical exercises to improve listening, manage conflict, and build trust between people. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and decisions about meaningful change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and helps people form safer emotional bonds.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. Larsen will talk with clients about goals and preferences and then use elements from these approaches to fit the situation. The process is collaborative and adjusts as needs change over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging support shorter check-ins or ongoing questions between sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum on the issues they want to address.
