Working with Gottman and Mindfulness Online
Monica uses the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and communication. This approach focuses on specific skills for talking, listening, and solving problems so conversations feel less heated and more productive. Mindfulness Therapy is used to help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, which can reduce anxiety and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels comfortable, then try methods that match those needs. Clients and therapist collaborate on which exercises and practices will be most useful between sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face connection for skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging is useful for quick reflections or ongoing support. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent even with a busy life.
