Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Christanne Brunner uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. This approach focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors that get in the way of daily functioning and emotional well-being.

She also applies the Gottman Method for couples work, offering structured tools to improve communication, reduce conflict, and strengthen emotional connection. Gottman techniques can be especially helpful for couples navigating recurring disputes and intimacy-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Christanne works collaboratively with each person or couple to determine which methods best match their goals, values, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining strategies as needed to address symptoms and build lasting skills.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility for busy schedules and those who prefer remote sessions. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent support from home, coordinate care around work or family commitments, and maintain momentum between sessions.
