How Teresa Uses CBT and the Gottman Method Online
Teresa works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often uses short exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns and to improve day-to-day coping.The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication between partners and reducing destructive conflict. It involves practical skill-building such as turn-taking, repair attempts, and structured conversations to rebuild connection and manage recurring fights.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, Gottman techniques, or a mix of both best fits the goals and situation. That decision is based on the issues presented, personal preferences, and what feels most useful in early sessions.
