Therapeutic approaches offered through online sessions
Mary Ann commonly uses client-centered therapy, which centers the process on the individual’s experience and strengths. This approach involves active listening and collaboration, helping people make choices that reflect their values and build confidence in their own problem solving.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that explores the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop alternative strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is another approach Mary Ann employs when intense emotions or interpersonal challenges arise. DBT offers specific skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mary Ann will collaborate with each person to determine which techniques align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These options allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that fit their daily life, making it easier to maintain continuity of care while addressing immediate concerns.
