Online support

Online approaches for relationship and family work

Tommy draws on the Gottman Method to help people improve communication, reduce conflict cycles, and rebuild friendship patterns. That approach focuses on practical skills for conversations and managing emotional triggers. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, acceptance, and following what each person finds most meaningful in their story.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss goals, preferences, and the problems you want to solve, then recommend techniques from these approaches. Decisions about which tools to use are made collaboratively and reviewed as progress is tracked.

Online therapy with Tommy is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for role practice and communication coaching. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, coping skill prompts, and ongoing support between sessions.
