Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Elaine Maher draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Client-Centered Therapy to support online clients. ACT helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult emotions are present - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and building practical skills to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens closely and adapts to the client’s perspective, supporting growth in self-esteem and confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Elaine Maher collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and life circumstances. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations and to choose the format that fits their comfort and routine.
