Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Deanna Dillard draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and the Gottman Method to shape online care. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard while exploring what matters most to them; it helps with self-understanding and building motivation for change. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, mood difficulties, and stress. The Gottman Method offers structured tools to improve communication and resolve conflict in couples, making it useful for relationship and family concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Deanna works with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She partners with each person to tailor strategies and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for people to maintain continuity of care, attend appointments from home or on the go, and choose the format that supports their engagement with therapy.
