How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Terri commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve decision making. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and practicing concrete skills for relationship interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Terri collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and comfort. She adjusts techniques over time so the work stays relevant and doable for the client.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work also supports brief check-ins between appointments and lets therapists use screen-shared worksheets or guided skill practice during sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and Gottman exercises to remote formats, and Terri will help decide how to structure sessions so they fit a client's life and goals.
