Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy

Dr. Keating commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on practical strategies and skills that can improve mood and daily functioning over time.

He also draws on the Gottman Method to support couples in strengthening communication, resolving conflict, and rebuilding emotional connection. The Gottman Method offers structured exercises and tools aimed at improving relationship interaction and understanding.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Keating works collaboratively with each person or couple to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors methods and pacing so therapy feels useful and relevant.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow work from home or on the go, and can make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life is busy or travel is required. Licensed professionals, including therapists like Dr. Keating, can adapt evidence-informed techniques effectively in virtual formats.
