Approaches for Online Trauma and Relationship Support
Rev. Bruce Carpenter draws from several evidence-based approaches to support clients in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can relieve anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing and reducing the long-term impacts of traumatic events, offering structured strategies for people recovering from abuse, grief, or disaster-related stress. The Gottman Method provides practical tools and communication skills for couples work, focusing on patterns that strengthen trust and connection.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rev. Carpenter works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor methods that fit their situation, adjusting techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, caregivers, and people living far from in-person services. These options make it easier to continue care during life transitions, coordinate around work or family responsibilities, and maintain momentum between appointments while working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in the approaches above.
