How CBT and Gottman work for online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is frequently used for anxiety, depression, stress, and eating or anger concerns by breaking problems into specific patterns to change.The Gottman Method looks at how partners interact and teaches concrete skills for communication and repair. It is used for relationship and intimacy-related issues to reduce harmful cycles and increase steady, everyday connection.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to use and when to shift course.
