Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting each person with empathy and respect, emphasizing the client as the expert in their own life. It helps individuals and couples explore values, build self-esteem, and make decisions that align with their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mood concerns; it often includes practical exercises and skill-building tasks. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that supports people who are ambivalent about change, commonly used with substance use, behavior change, and motivation-related issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Maria works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as progress unfolds. This partnership helps create a personalized plan that reflects what matters most to the client.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or other commitments. These formats increase accessibility for people who live in different areas or have mobility or time constraints, while allowing licensed professionals to provide consistent support and practical strategies tailored to each client.
