Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Lenita blends Gottman Method ideas with client-centered care and cognitive behavioral techniques to address relationship patterns, emotional balance, and daily thinking habits. Gottman-informed work focuses on improving communication patterns and reducing repeated conflicts in relationships. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and following the client's pace to help them feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Lenita discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and adjusts methods based on what helps most. She treats therapy as a collaboration where the client and therapist test strategies and choose what fits the client's needs.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help make regular care more manageable around work, parenting, or other commitments.
