Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more useful patterns. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills for managing mood and reactions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, combines emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and mindfulness skills to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships. It can be particularly helpful for impulsivity, interpersonal conflict, and coping with overwhelming feelings.

The Gottman Method is a structured approach to relationship therapy that emphasizes communication skills, conflict management, and rebuilding trust. It is designed to help couples strengthen connection and resolve recurring patterns that undermine relationship satisfaction.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Craig Gordon works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He draws on these evidence-informed approaches and adapts them to the client’s situation as therapy progresses.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and accessibility across different settings. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, skill-focused care that fits into clients’ daily lives while maintaining a therapeutic relationship and ongoing support.
