Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take action toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and emotion, supporting work on relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, including trauma-focused adaptations, helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical skills to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and trauma.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Maria works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so care feels tailored and effective.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with a licensed professional - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to attend sessions around work, family, and daily life. These options provide consistent access to support across different settings and permit working on skills and insights in the context of everyday routines.
