How CBT and Gottman Work Online
Teresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and actions that increase stress or anxiety, then practice small changes to feel better. CBT often breaks problems into clear steps so clients can test new habits between sessions.The Gottman Method focuses on how partners interact and teaches specific communication and conflict tools. It centers on improving everyday conversations and rebuilding trust and connection over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa aims to collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients and therapist review what helps and what needs changing together.
