Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Maria uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters to them and learn to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward personal values. ACT is often useful for people managing anxiety, stress, or life transitions who want to build a meaningful direction in their lives.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT offers practical tools for addressing anxiety, improving self-esteem, and developing more effective coping skills for day-to-day challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Maria works collaboratively with clients to determine which strategies best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time so therapy remains aligned with each person’s progress.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These remote formats make it easier to maintain consistency and access support from different locations, while licensed professionals and therapists work to tailor care to each client's situation.
