Online Approaches and How They Help
Dr. Goodman uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learn practical skills for managing symptoms such as anxiety, mood difficulties, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) complements that work by encouraging values-based action and the development of psychological flexibility, which can be helpful for coping with chronic problems and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used when relational patterns and early attachment experiences appear relevant, offering a way to explore interpersonal dynamics and improve emotional connection and safety.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and the nature of the difficulties they bring, and then recommend or combine approaches that seem most likely to help. This collaborative planning helps ensure therapy is tailored and responsive rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility in how and when people engage in care. These options make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules, access therapy from different locations including internationally, and maintain continuity when life circumstances change.
