Evidence-Based Approaches Available in Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them. It is commonly used to address anxiety, stress, low mood, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

The Gottman Method emphasizes relationship dynamics and communication patterns, offering structured techniques to strengthen partnerships, improve conflict management, and rebuild trust when needed.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clients' goals and existing strengths, helping to create short-term, actionable steps that move a person toward desired changes without dwelling extensively on past problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is handled collaboratively. Stacy works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals to determine which methods fit best, adjusting the plan over time as progress is made.

Online therapy sessions can be delivered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing greater flexibility for scheduling and continuity of care. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and to integrate therapy into a busy life while maintaining regular contact with a therapist.
