Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions help
David uses the Gottman Method to guide practical work around relationship patterns and communication. That approach focuses on small, evidence-informed exercises people can use to improve interactions and reduce conflict.He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which identifies unhelpful thinking and tests new, more helpful behaviors. Both ACT and CBT are useful for anxiety, depression, addiction-related patterns, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This means the approach can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for skill practice, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit work, caregiving, and travel schedules, while keeping sessions accessible across Colorado.
