Using CBT and Gottman tools in online therapy
Teresa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns that fuel anxiety and depression and then practice alternative responses. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises and homework that people can try between meetings to reduce stress and improve mood.She also uses the Gottman Method to improve communication and connection around relationship and intimacy challenges. Gottman-informed work includes structured conversations, turn-taking skills, and small experiments to rebuild trust and reduce conflict.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Teresa works together with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as needs change. That collaborative approach helps set clear, realistic steps and keeps sessions focused on what matters most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for communication practice, phone sessions can fit into a break at work or require less bandwidth, and messaging formats make brief check-ins and frequent skill practice easier. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit into busy days and varied schedules.
