Online support

Online approaches that focus on goals and relationships

Allyson uses the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and improve communication. That approach looks at interactions and teaches practical skills for handling conflicts, rebuilding connection, and improving everyday conversations. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. It focuses on concrete tools such as thought records and behavioral experiments that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Allyson treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help you choose approaches that match your goals, values, and what you want to change. She regularly checks in and adjusts the plan based on what is or isn’t working for you.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited; chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when a shorter touchpoint is needed. These options make it simpler to schedule around work, childcare, or other commitments while keeping focus on practical steps and progress.
