Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Dr. Andrus commonly draws on the Gottman Method to examine relationship patterns and improve communication, focusing on practical skills couples and individuals can practice in daily life. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds influence current relationships and to build healthier ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when helpful to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, history, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what is working and what feels comfortable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a quick way to check in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy into work, school, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical strategies and steady progress.
