Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Marjorie integrates client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting each person’s own goals and values; this approach helps clients feel heard while exploring life purpose, identity, and relationship concerns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more helpful patterns - useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and coping with stress. Mindfulness therapy is woven into her work as well, offering simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce emotional reactivity and support recovery from trauma or compassion fatigue.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marjorie collaborates with clients to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they tailor strategies and adjust the plan over time so the work feels relevant and doable.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy lives and to maintain continuity during transitions. These formats provide flexibility in scheduling and communication style, and they allow licensed professionals and therapists to offer consistent support across different situations and stages of change.
