04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
David uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match what matters most. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and making values-based changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. The Gottman Method offers practical tools for improving communication and managing conflict in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past efforts, and preferences, then recommend one or a mix of approaches. Decisions about methods are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions work well when a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use written conversation if that feels easier. These options help make regular work on goals more flexible and manageable.
