Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Guilaine commonly blends the Gottman Method with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address relationship patterns and individual values. The Gottman Method focuses on practical skills for improving interactions and emotional connection, which can help people who want clearer communication and less conflict. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clients name what matters to them and take small, values-driven steps even when emotions are difficult.She also uses Client-Centered techniques to keep sessions grounded in your experience. That means the work is collaborative - the therapist will listen, reflect what she hears, and help you choose techniques that match your goals and preferences. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and will be shaped by what you want to change and how you prefer to work.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work in real time with visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter support between sessions or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
