Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Dr. Grimes often uses the Gottman Method to look at patterns in close relationships and teach practical skills for better communication and conflict management. Gottman-informed work helps identify interaction cycles and replace them with clearer, calmer ways of relating.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people name their values and take small actions that match those values despite difficult feelings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used to build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for intense moods and urges.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. He will discuss options, try brief experiments, and adjust methods based on what the person finds useful. The goal is a plan that fits the person’s life, goals, and preferences rather than a fixed protocol.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills in real time. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, homework support, or when a quieter format fits better into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into work, school, or family routines.
