Teletherapy options and therapeutic approach
Herbert provides online sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These communication methods are used to conduct assessments, ongoing sessions, and to maintain therapeutic contact between meetings as appropriate.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify thought and behavior patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, or other presenting concerns. Sessions using CBT focus on noticing those patterns and developing concrete strategies and skills that can be practiced between meetings.
The Gottman Method is applied for relationship and intimacy-related work, offering structured ways to explore interaction patterns and improve communication. Narrative Therapy is used to examine personal stories and meanings, creating space to reframe experiences and consider alternative perspectives. Herbert frames treatment as a collaborative process in which therapist and client set goals and select methods together.
