Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Dr. Bowen draws on the Gottman Method to teach practical relationship skills like better conflict conversations and emotional connection techniques that people can practice at home. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify personal values and build committed action, which helps when clients face difficult feelings or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and daily life and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative way lets the plan shift over time as progress and preferences emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier and to fit different routines. Video sessions allow real-time conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can work when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for brief updates, skill coaching between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These flexible options help people keep therapy consistent with work, family, and travel demands.
