Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Dr. Torok uses the Gottman Method to help people spot interaction patterns and learn practical ways to change them, often focusing on communication and moments that create trust. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clients notice difficult thoughts and choose values-based actions rather than getting stuck in avoidance. Client-Centered Therapy provides a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the pace and topics while the therapist listens and reflects.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences during early sessions and adapts methods to what feels most helpful. That might mean blending Gottman conversations with ACT exercises or using client-centered listening alongside skill-building from CBT techniques.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit day-to-day life. Video calls let people practice communication and see facial cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or messaging can be used for quick reflections, coaching, or between-session support. These options aim to make regular work on goals more manageable and consistent for busy people.
