Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new skills to change behavior and mood. The Gottman Method offers practical techniques to improve communication and reduce conflict in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Wayne will discuss these methods with each person and tailor the mix to match goals, needs, and what feels comfortable. That way clients and the therapist decide together which tools to try and when to adjust the plan.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit brief check-ins or busy schedules. These options help people keep therapy consistent while fitting it into everyday life.
