Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Marsha Carlton



Marsha often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and to identify personal values that guide meaningful action. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy is also a key part of her work - it explores relationship patterns and early connection experiences to improve current relationships and emotional regulation, which can be especially helpful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy underpins her collaborative stance by prioritizing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and the client’s own goals to foster self-directed growth and confidence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marsha works together with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility, allowing clients to meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists regardless of physical location.
