Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Maria Eijo uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the person at the center of care guides the pace and focus of sessions. This approach helps people explore values, build self-understanding, and strengthen personal resources when facing life transitions or identity-related concerns.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that identifies unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches strategies to change them. CBT can be effective for depression, anxiety, and stress-related problems by offering concrete tools for day-to-day coping.
Motivational interviewing is another approach Maria may use when clients are weighing change or struggling with motivation. This collaborative conversational style supports ambivalence and helps people find their own reasons for moving forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Maria will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Maria is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility to schedule care around work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of support and to access licensed professionals from different locations.
