Therapeutic approaches and online access
Maria uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people focus on personal values and to build practical ways of living that align with what matters to them. ACT often helps with persistent stress, anxiety, and situations where avoidance has become a problem.
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours and teaches concrete skills for managing worry, low mood, and unhelpful patterns. CBT is frequently used to develop coping strategies and improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Maria works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what helps and adapt the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to access that work - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can fit support around work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to keep regular contact, check in between sessions, and sustain momentum while balancing everyday life.
