Step 3

How CBT and Gottman Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and habits like sleep or eating problems. The Gottman Method looks at communication patterns and practical skills to reduce conflict and rebuild trust in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Freddie will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try. Decisions about tools and exercises are made collaboratively so the plan fits what the client wants to change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice communication or behavioral experiments in their everyday settings. Talk with Freddie during the matching process to learn how these approaches would be used and which session arrangements might work best for your life.
