Remote sessions and therapeutic approaches
Twyla Sanks provides remote care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options are used to connect with individuals, couples, and families in a collaborative way. Her approach is client-centered, which means she attends closely to each person and shapes the work around their goals and preferences.
She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify thought and behavior patterns and to develop practical skills for coping with stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. For trauma-related work she offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, described in her materials as a trauma-informed modality for processing distressing memories and reducing their present-day impact.
For relationship concerns she employs the Gottman Method alongside Solution-Focused Therapy when appropriate. The Gottman Method provides structured techniques for communication and connection in couples work, while Solution-Focused Therapy keeps the focus on concrete goals and small, actionable steps. Twyla frames these approaches collaboratively and tailors remote sessions to fit how each person or couple prefers to work.
