Therapeutic approaches and online care

Mary draws primarily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside a client-centered stance to tailor work to each person's situation. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, helping people manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress while building practical coping strategies. EMDR uses structured processing to help reduce the emotional impact of traumatic memories and can be helpful for trauma-related distress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to explore feelings, values and personal goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mary works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences and goals and to choose methods that fit each individual’s circumstances, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access support from home. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, letting clients and therapists focus on progress in ways that suit the client’s routine and comfort level.
