Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Mairi draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility - it supports those dealing with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by encouraging actions that align with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mood concerns; it offers practical tools and structured strategies. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathic listening and unconditional positive regard - it creates a space where clients can explore feelings and insights at their own pace, which can be especially helpful for relationship and identity-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Mairi works collaboratively to determine which methods best fit a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques and pacing based on ongoing feedback so the work remains relevant and useful.

Online therapy with Mairi is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and choose the communication style that feels most helpful at any stage of the process.
