Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Florence draws on the Gottman Method to help people understand recurring relationship patterns and improve communication. The Gottman-informed work focuses on practical skills for listening, managing conflict, and rebuilding connection. Attachment-based therapy is used to look at early relationship patterns and how they show up now; this helps people understand emotional responses and build more supported ways of relating.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods as needed. Together they pick tools and techniques that match the client's priorities and everyday life demands.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and doing interactive exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Messaging and live chat let people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep work moving between sessions.
