Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Danielle commonly integrates the Gottman Method to help couples improve communication and reduce conflict by practicing specific interaction skills and building shared rituals. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes understanding the client's perspective, validating feelings, and shaping goals around what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or relationship strain.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to clarify goals, test different tools, and adjust methods based on what feels most useful. Clients help shape the plan so interventions match their needs, values, and pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and preferences. Video calls allow face-to-face connection for skills practice, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat supports brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or other busy days while keeping continuity of care.
