Online support
Approach-driven online care that fits busy lives
Dr. Gunter uses the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and improve communication. That approach focuses on practical skills couples and individuals can use to manage conflict, rebuild trust, and improve day-to-day interactions. She also works with Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early bonds shape current relationship needs and helps people respond differently to closeness and distance. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and the presenting concerns and then recommend a mix of methods. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively on what to try and adjust over time based on what helps most. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for relationship work and exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support brief updates, coaching-style guidance, or ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while keeping the focus on actionable steps and steady progress.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
