How Wayne Uses CBT and Relationship Work Online

Wayne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves setting small goals, trying new reactions between sessions, and tracking progress to reduce anxiety, depression, panic attacks, or problematic habits.

He also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship-focused concerns. That approach focuses on improving communication, reducing conflict cycles, and building practical skills for more stable connections. It can help with communication problems and intimacy-related issues.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Wayne will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels doable. Together they decide which tools to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Wayne is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversations and relationship work. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or homework support between sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, and busy days.
