Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online



Marie integrates several evidence-informed approaches into her work to address a range of emotional and relational concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility so they can move toward a more meaningful life despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns affect emotions and behavior, which can be especially helpful for people struggling with attachment issues, relationship conflicts, or blended family dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marie collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance allows adjustments over time so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it simpler to fit care into a busy life and to access support from home or other convenient locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, multiple ways to communicate, and consistent access to licensed professionals and therapists who can guide the therapeutic journey.
