Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Mairi commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered principles into online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to take actions guided by personal values - it can help with anxiety, avoidance, and making meaningful changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, offering a supportive space where clients set the pace and priorities for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Mairi works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and practical.
Online sessions with licensed professionals offer flexibility in how people connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging can all be used depending on what feels most comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from one consistent therapist when in-person visits are not possible.
