Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Marie Gauley uses several evidence-based approaches adapted for remote work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's experience and creates a supportive space where individuals can explore feelings, values, and personal goals; it is useful for addressing self-esteem, life purpose, and relational concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be particularly helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marie collaborates with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adjust methods over time to find the best fit. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to what works best for the individual.
Online therapy with Marie can be offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or while managing caregiving, work, or mobility concerns, and they support continuity of care when in-person meetings are not feasible.
