Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Sheila uses the Gottman Method to help people improve communication patterns and handle relationship stresses. That approach focuses on practical skills for managing conflict, building fondness, and improving connection with important people in life.She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps clients notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and teaches values-based actions to move forward. Attachment-Based Therapy is another influence, guiding exploration of early patterns that shape how people relate and helping to form healthier ways of connecting.
Choosing the right approach happens together. Sheila will listen to your goals and try different strategies to see what fits. She frames therapy as a collaboration where you shape the pace and focus, and adjustments are made along the way.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for longer sessions and face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option when video isn’t practical. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
