Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Mary Cassidy uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space in which the client’s perspectives and values guide the pace and direction of work. This approach helps people feel heard and accepted while they explore personal goals and sources of distress.

She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties. CBT is often useful for people seeking clear strategies and measurable progress.

Mindfulness therapy is another component of her work, offering techniques to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to difficult emotions, which can benefit those dealing with stress, rumination, or difficult transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules, allows continuity of care across locations, and makes it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists when in-person visits are difficult. These options support consistent work toward goals in ways that fit each person’s life.
