How CBT and Gottman work in online sessions
Teresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change thought patterns that increase anxiety or worsen conflict. CBT sessions often include short exercises, practical homework, and step-by-step skill building for everyday problems like worry, low mood, or impulsive reactions.She also draws from the Gottman Method to help with communication and recurring relationship conflicts. That approach focuses on clear turn-taking in conversation, repairing moments of disconnection, and building better routines for managing disagreements.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, test techniques, and adapt methods based on what fits the client’s needs and preferences. Clients can expect decisions about focus and pace to be made together during early sessions.
