Approach-Focused Online Therapy
Marie Gauley uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive atmosphere where the person's own goals and values direct the work - this approach helps with self-esteem, life purpose, and improving communication by prioritizing the client's lived experience. She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and panic. Additionally, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills are used to teach practical techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships when impulsivity or intense emotions are a concern.Choosing the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Marie works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.
Online therapy provides flexible options for receiving care - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to integrate therapy into busy schedules, accommodate mobility or caregiving responsibilities, and maintain continuity of support across different life stages while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to individual needs.
