Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Support

Marla commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy, and motivational interviewing into her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, anger, and difficulties with coping. Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of thoughts and feelings, helping reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that strengthens a person's own motivation and commitment to change, which can be useful for addressing ambivalence around habits or life transitions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Marla works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which strategies best match an individual's needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, therapy can be scheduled with greater flexibility and integrated into daily life, making it easier to attend sessions, practice new skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care with a therapist who uses approaches that fit the client's goals.
