Online support
Approaches that translate to online care
Elizabeth blends the Gottman Method, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to address relationship and connection challenges. Gottman-informed ideas focus on communication patterns and practical skills couples or individuals can practice to reduce conflict and increase understanding. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people form more supported ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client sets the pace and the therapist listens deeply.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Elizabeth will talk through your goals and preferences and adjust methods as you go. That way therapy stays focused on the problems you want to solve and the pace that feels manageable.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging formats work well for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different formats until you find what works best.
