Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Stephanie combines approaches to match each person's situation. The Gottman Method is used to identify interaction patterns and teach better communication and conflict habits for relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions that align with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and practicing new, healthier ways of thinking and behaving.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and symptoms and try methods that suit your needs and preferences. Together you will track what helps and adjust the plan over time so therapy stays useful and practical.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you work face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let you share brief updates and get support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family schedules while using the approaches that best fit your concerns.
