How online therapy and treatment approaches work together

Dr. Wallenberg uses the Gottman Method to look at how people interact and break down patterns that create ongoing conflict. This approach focuses on specific behaviors and small, repeatable steps to improve communication and rebuild connection. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her work and gives people a space to be heard and understood while they decide what matters most to them.

She often pairs those approaches with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change thoughts that keep them stuck. Together these methods give a mix of listening, practical exercises, and tools to try between sessions. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and adjust methods as needs change.

Online formats let people fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and interactive skill work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, progress updates, or when someone wants to reflect in writing. These options make it easier to maintain steady momentum without major travel or schedule disruption.
