Online support
How relational approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy helps people notice close relationship patterns and how early losses or abandonment shape current bonds. It can be useful for addressing attachment wounds, intimacy concerns, and family conflict.The Gottman Method is a relational approach that focuses on practical skills for improving communication, managing conflict, and rebuilding trust. It is often used when people want concrete tools to change how they relate.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s experience and strengths, offering a respectful, listening-based stance that supports exploration of values, life purpose, and self-worth.
Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Teri will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls work well for visual connection and deeper conversation, phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
