Approaches Wayne names

Online support

Online approaches that focus on skills and relationships

Wayne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of the Gottman Method to guide online work. CBT is a practical approach that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and problems with sleep and coping. The Gottman Method concentrates on relationship patterns and communication skills, helping people improve how they talk and solve problems together.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Wayne will work with each person to match methods to their goals and daily realities. He asks about what matters most, discusses options, and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work feels useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people work face to face when more depth is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, coaching-style support, or moments when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain steady contact between sessions.
