Online support
Bringing relationship-focused therapy online
Chelsea often uses the Gottman Method to look at how partners communicate and rebuild connection after conflict; this approach focuses on practical strategies for improving day-to-day interactions and reducing negative cycles. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to map patterns of closeness and distance and to help people feel more supported in relationships by changing small, repeated behaviors.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide whether a relationship-focused path, cognitive tools, or a client-centered pace makes the most sense for the current concerns.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video helps with reading gestures and practicing conversations, phone sessions can fit into a work break or be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can support brief check-ins and homework between meetings. These options make it simpler to keep therapy regular while fitting into busy schedules.
