Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept up by them, and then taking steps that align with their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and struggles with motivation and life purpose.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, anger, addictive behaviors, and self-esteem work, offering concrete strategies to manage symptoms and develop healthier routines.

The Gottman Method centers on improving communication, conflict management, and emotional connection within couples. It is especially relevant for relationship difficulties such as communication problems, commitment concerns, or infidelity.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Eric will work collaboratively with each person or couple to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility to engage by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to continue care from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, goal-focused work while accommodating schedules, mobility, and varying comfort levels with different communication styles.
