How his methods are used in online sessions
CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions Herbert helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice concrete alternatives. This approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.The Gottman Method concentrates on communication and interaction patterns between partners. It uses structured exercises and skill-building to reduce conflict and improve connection for people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues.
Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and their lives. Herbert helps clients separate problematic narratives from their sense of self and then try new stories that support different choices.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Herbert will discuss goals, preferences, and practical constraints and adjust methods over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to prioritize.
