Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical, skills-focused approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with change. The Gottman Method is a research-informed approach designed for couples, offering tools to improve communication, resolve conflict, and rebuild connection in relationship and family difficulties. Existential Therapy explores meaning, values, and personal responsibility to help people facing life transitions, loss, or questions about purpose and identity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. David Chittenden works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify which methods best match a person’s goals, needs, and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and connect from home or another convenient location. These options support ongoing work on stress, relationships, grief, and other concerns while accommodating different communication styles and schedules.
