Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Relationship and Coping Work

Terri uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it often helps with mood concerns, anxiety, self-esteem, and problem-solving when facing life changes.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness tools. DBT techniques are useful when strong emotions, impulsivity, or relationship conflicts make daily functioning difficult.

For couples and relationship work, Terri draws on the Gottman Method to improve communication, rebuild connection, and address recurring patterns that lead to conflict or disconnection.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Terri collaborates with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods over time so the work fits the person and the situation.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, to include partners or family members when appropriate, and to continue momentum even when travel or location would otherwise be a barrier. Licensed professionals can deliver the same core therapeutic work remotely while tailoring communication styles and tools to each client's needs.
