How sessions work
Using CBT and the Gottman Method in online care
Teresa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thoughts and behaviors that increase stress and anxiety. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. The Gottman Method centers on improving communication, reducing destructive patterns, and rebuilding trust in close relationships. It can be useful for partners and individuals navigating conflict and intimacy concerns.Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. Teresa will discuss goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit those priorities. She focuses on practical steps and communication skills that clients can try between sessions and adjusts the plan as progress and needs change.

It can also make sessions possible across different locations, which can help when schedules or living situations change. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like CBT exercises and Gottman communication practices to the online setting so the work remains focused on manageable change.
