Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Mary Dooley
Mary Dooley draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and helps clients identify their own goals and strengths - it is useful for relationship concerns, self esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaching practical strategies to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy introduces present-focused awareness and simple attention exercises that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation across many concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. Mary works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time based on what is most helpful. Availability and the exact mix of approaches depend on each client and clinical priorities.
Online therapy with a licensed professional can offer flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, and shorter connections via live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family, and other commitments. These options can increase accessibility and make it simpler to integrate therapeutic work into a busy life. Availability may vary and Mary Dooley is not currently accepting new clients.
