Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Maria combines client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and hypnotherapy to tailor support to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes active listening and collaboration so the client’s goals and values guide the work; it is helpful for building self-awareness, improving relationships and strengthening emotional resilience. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and stress management. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access underlying patterns and support change in habits, coping and motivation.Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process. Maria works collaboratively with clients to explore options, test what feels most effective and adjust methods over time based on the client’s goals, preferences and progress. This flexible, client-led process helps identify the best fit rather than assuming one fixed method.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging, giving accessible ways to engage from different locations and schedules. These options allow for regular contact, easier scheduling around work or caregiving responsibilities and continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Working online can make it simpler to maintain momentum toward personal goals while fitting therapy into everyday life.
