How therapy approaches guide online care

Dr. Keating uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method as core tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. The Gottman Method focuses on how people communicate and solve problems in relationships, offering practical skills to lower conflict and build connection.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your needs and goals, explain which methods seem most relevant, and adjust the plan as you go. Together you decide what feels most useful and practical for your situation.
