Online support
Online approaches that fit your needs
Many clients benefit from a mix of methods. The Gottman Method focuses on how people talk and interact in close relationships, helping identify patterns and build better communication. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person and their goals at the center, using listening and reflection to help clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleeping or eating concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean starting with talk therapy, adding practical CBT tools, or using Gottman-informed strategies for relationship patterns. The plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel.
