How sessions work
How his approaches are used online
Dr. Keating commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method in his clinical work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. The Gottman Method concentrates on communication skills and patterns that affect closeness and trust in relationships, and it can be useful when communication problems or intimacy concerns are present.Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. He will discuss your goals and preferences, and together you decide which methods to prioritize. That lets the work adapt to your situation rather than forcing a single method from the start.
