Approaches and Practical Benefits of Online Therapy



Maaria integrates client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and solution-focused techniques to support clients in online sessions. Client-centred therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and accepting the client’s perspective to help people explore their feelings and sense of self; it is particularly helpful for building self-esteem and processing life changes. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical goals and short-term strategies to move forward, making it useful for addressing specific problems like relationship or workplace challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Maaria works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She and the client review what is working and adjust methods as therapy progresses, ensuring a personalised path.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or travel, and they increase accessibility for clients who live far away or prefer remote support while receiving care from licensed professionals and therapists.
