Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
MaRanda Gilmore draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy to tailor support to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and validation, helping clients explore their values and strengths while guiding them to make choices that feel authentic and healing. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and developing practical skills - this approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns where skill-building can reduce distress. Emotionally-focused therapy helps people and couples understand core emotions and attachment patterns, which can improve communication and intimacy and repair relational wounds.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and MaRanda works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Together they will evaluate what feels effective and adjust strategies as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with MaRanda is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for scheduling around work, parenting, and other commitments. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations, maintain continuity of care, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for ongoing support.
