Approaches That Guide Online Work



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is practical in addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily coping challenges by focusing on skills and small, measurable changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships. It is often useful for couples and family concerns where deepening connection and processing emotions are central goals.

Gayle approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that the right method varies by person and situation. She works with clients to explore preferences, clarify goals, and select techniques that fit their needs, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, caregiving, or mobility concerns. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access scheduled support from home or elsewhere, and use different formats for skills practice and check-ins depending on what works best for each client and therapist.
