Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Simone often combines Gottman Method ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support relationship health and personal values-driven change. Gottman Method focuses on improving communication and reducing conflict in close relationships by teaching specific interaction skills. ACT helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values instead of getting stuck in avoidance.She also uses client-centered methods to create a respectful, accepting space where people feel heard. That collaborative stance means the therapist and client decide together which approaches to emphasize based on needs, goals, and preferences. Simone will adapt methods over time if something isn’t working or if priorities shift.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video lets you work face to face from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, processing between sessions, or for people who prefer typing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and continue work consistently even when schedules change.
