Online support
How his approaches translate to online therapy
John blends the Gottman Method with acceptance-based and attachment-focused ideas to help people and couples strengthen connection and handle conflict. The Gottman Method emphasizes concrete communication skills and manageable exercises that can be practiced between sessions to improve understanding and reduce reactivity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and commit to values-based actions, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of closeness and support, helping people recognize how early relationships shape current reactions and build new ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try tools in session, and adjust methods over time so therapy fits the client's needs and life circumstances.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to work together. Video calls support role-play, guided exercises, and visual cues. Phone sessions can be used for brief check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide ongoing coaching, short updates, and practical reminders between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to practice new skills in real time.
