Approaches for Online Couples and Family Work
Dr. Laura R Ortega commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method, and she may draw on Motivational Interviewing when change is a central goal. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and social phobia. The Gottman Method offers practical tools for couples to improve communication, rebuild trust after infidelity, and strengthen emotional connection through structured interventions. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change, useful for issues like caregiver burnout or health-related behavior changes.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Ortega works collaboratively with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors methods so the work fits the individual or family. The choice of techniques is reviewed together and adjusted over time to support progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in that work. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and brief check-ins are possible via live chat or text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to maintain continuity when in-person visits are not feasible. Licensed professionals can use these options to provide regular, accessible support that aligns with a client’s life.
