Therapeutic Approaches for Online Sessions

Marsha Hayes draws on client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and EMDR-informed approaches to tailor online care to each person. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply to the client and creating an accepting atmosphere so individuals can explore their feelings and values and move toward self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other concerns, and teaches practical skills for changing those patterns. EMDR training provides a structured method used to address symptoms commonly associated with trauma, grief, depression, and anxiety by working through distressing memories and their emotional impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the process - Marsha collaborates with each client to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative planning helps shape a treatment plan that feels manageable and relevant to the client’s life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals from different locations and schedules. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the individual.
