How evidence-based approaches translate to online couples and relationship therapy
Terry draws on several proven approaches that adapt well to remote work. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication, building shared meaning, and restoring trust between partners - it is especially useful for couples dealing with conflict, infidelity, or breakdowns in connection. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current intimacy and behavior, helping people understand and change repeated cycles of distance or clinginess. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills for noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking values-driven actions, which can help with shame, impulsivity, and emotional avoidance.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Terry works collaboratively with each person or couple to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress is made.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer practical flexibility, making it easier to attend sessions from different locations and balance therapy with daily responsibilities. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt session style and exercises to the online format so that therapeutic work remains focused and accessible.
