Online support
Combining proven approaches with online convenience
Larry often uses the Gottman Method to look at relationship interactions and communication habits. This approach focuses on how people talk and connect, and it can help when patterns of conflict or withdrawal cause problems. He also applies client-centered methods that emphasize listening and building on what the person already knows about their life and goals.He commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood. CBT helps people break down problems into smaller steps, test new ways of thinking, and practice different actions between sessions. Together, these approaches are used in a collaborative way - the therapist and client decide what to try based on the client's goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief updates, homework, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep working on goals between meetings.
