Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Mary commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy, and she also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy to meet individual needs. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take intentional action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns formed early in life and how those patterns influence current attachments and intimacy; it can help with family issues, relationship conflicts, and attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and nonjudgmental support, creating a collaborative space for people to explore self-esteem, identity, and personal goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Mary partners with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their goals, preferences, and challenges, and she adjusts the approach as progress unfolds so care remains collaborative and responsive.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility - appointments can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to attend from home, work, or while managing caregiving responsibilities. This range of options supports scheduling needs and makes it easier to maintain consistent care with licensed professionals and therapists without frequent travel.
