Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s perspective, with the therapist providing empathic support and acceptance to help people explore their values, build self-understanding, and strengthen self-worth - useful for self-esteem issues and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and skills-based, often used to address anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and patterns that maintain emotional distress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These tools can help people manage intense emotions, reduce self-harm urges, and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. Marilyn works with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and challenges emerge.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals. Marilyn provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules, comfort levels, and communication styles. These options can make it easier to attend regular sessions, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the format that supports personal progress.
