How relational and cognitive approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences affect current reactions and connections. It helps people recognize patterns in close relationships and practice new, healthier ways of relating.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and develop routines that improve mood, sleep, and focus.

Gabriel approaches treatment collaboratively and will help you find the right mix of methods for your goals. He will discuss options and adjust plans as you learn what helps, so the work matches your needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and relational exercises, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is helpful for quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These formats let people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity when travel or location change would otherwise interrupt care.
