Approaches that guide online work and what to expect
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a steady, accepting space to name feelings and decide on priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches tools to change patterns that cause distress; it often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and mood management. The Gottman Method offers practical communication and conflict tools for improving how partners interact and solve problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jaime will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That process can include trying different ways of working to see what helps most over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or work when bandwidth is lower. Live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter updates, safety planning, or as part of ongoing check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work from different locations.
