Approaches for online therapy and practical benefits

Maria Grimshaw-Clark integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship that helps people explore their feelings and priorities so they can make changes that matter to them. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. DBT combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, helping people manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Maria works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration shapes a plan that can evolve as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options support continuity of care and allow therapists to use the same core approaches in ways that match each client’s life and pace.
