How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and identify what matters most so they can take steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change moods and habits. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people change how they relate when distance or conflict causes problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to emphasize. That collaborative process can shift over time as needs change and progress is tracked.
The profile states Dr. Goodman has used telehealth since 2020 and holds a Telebehavioral Health Institute certification from 2016. If you prefer remote sessions, confirm the available formats when you book so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits around work, caregiving, or other obligations.
