Approaches You Can Try Online

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple breathing or attention exercises to reduce worry and improve focus; it often helps with anxiety, stress, and sleep problems. Somatic Therapy pays attention to how the body holds stress and uses breathing, movement, or gentle awareness to release tension and reduce somatic symptoms. The Gottman Method is a structured approach to relationship work that teaches communication skills, conflict management, and ways to rebuild connection for those dealing with intimacy or relationship strain.

Choosing the best approach is a shared process. Shelley will talk with each person about goals, daily challenges, and preferences, then suggest a mix of methods to try. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as needed so the work fits real life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is often used for fuller conversation and skill practice, phone is helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can work for short check-ins and timely support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other commitments while still working toward meaningful change.
