Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Marlene uses client-centered therapy to place the person at the heart of the work - listening closely, respecting each individual’s experience, and building goals that reflect their priorities. This approach is helpful for people seeking a supportive, collaborative space to explore personal challenges.
She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other mood concerns. CBT is action-oriented and often includes practical strategies clients can use between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy is another tool in her practice, teaching simple attention and breathing exercises to help manage stress, emotional reactivity, and sleep difficulties. These practices can complement other therapeutic techniques.
Marlene approaches treatment collaboratively - she will help determine which methods or combination of methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and therapist work together to adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging expands flexibility and access, making it easier to fit consistent support into busy lives. These options allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable while still benefiting from the same licensed professional-led approaches as in-person work.
