Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Annemarie often draws on solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing in her work. Solution-focused therapy centers on identifying strengths and small, practical steps to move forward, making it useful for clients seeking clear, short-term goals and coping strategies.

Cognitive behavioral therapy helps clients recognize and adjust unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be effective for anxiety, stress, and mood challenges. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that strengthens a person's own motivation to change and can be particularly helpful when facing ambivalence about next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Annemarie works collaboratively with clients to determine which techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations. These formats allow clients to receive consistent care while accommodating work, family, and mobility needs, and they support a range of communication preferences to help clients stay engaged in their treatment.
