Online support
Approaches you may use in online sessions
Milliann commonly draws on the Gottman Method to help people improve communication and manage conflict more constructively; this approach focuses on specific skills for talking about sensitive topics and rebuilding connection. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which teaches ways to accept difficult feelings while taking steps that match personal values. Additionally, Attachment-Based Therapy can be used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current reactions and to develop healthier ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Milliann works with each person to identify goals and preferences, then experiments with methods that fit those goals. She will check in regularly and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays focused and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and role-play, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth, and chat or messaging can work for quick check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible for people balancing work, caregiving, or limited travel time.
