Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Marquita often draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites clients to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to take actions that align with their values - an approach that can be useful for anxiety, stress, and ongoing life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a non-directive stance so clients can explore their feelings and build self-understanding - this approach can be especially helpful for self-esteem, relationship concerns, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change them, which is often effective for mood and anxiety symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marquita works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on what is most helpful for the client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility, allowing work to continue through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, or caregiving responsibilities and to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, while allowing licensed professionals to provide consistent therapeutic support.
