How Mary Ann's Approaches Translate to Online Care
Mary Ann draws on client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, empathetic space where clients set the pace and focus of sessions - this approach supports work on self-esteem, motivation, and managing emotional distress by centering the client's goals and lived experience.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is well suited to addressing anxiety, panic attacks, workplace stress, and social phobia through practical strategies and skill building.
Motivational interviewing complements these methods when motivation or substance use concerns arise, helping clients clarify values and strengthen their readiness for change through guided conversation rather than confrontation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person or family to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging can make this work more accessible and flexible. These options allow clients to engage from different locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and continue momentum between in-depth conversations and shorter check-ins with licensed professionals and therapists.
