Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Marilyn Seccombe commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritizes empathetic listening and a collaborative relationship to help clients clarify values and work through transitions and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another frequent focus - it offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop skills for managing anxiety and depressive symptoms. When appropriate, she draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques that teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help people navigate intense emotions and relationship challenges.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy; Marilyn works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made. The process is iterative and client-centered, with an emphasis on what works for the individual.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make regular support more accessible, reduce the need to travel, and allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care in ways that suit each person's life.
