Therapeutic approaches for online care
Mary integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, validation, and building a respectful therapeutic relationship so clients can explore goals and values and feel recognized as the expert of their own experience. CBT helps identify and gently challenge unhelpful thought patterns and build practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors. DBT adds strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and impulse-related concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Mary collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor care in a way that feels manageable and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone, and options for live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit work into busy lives, maintain continuity during life changes, and access consistent support from licensed professionals without commuting. These formats allow therapy to adapt to a client's schedule and communication preferences while preserving the core therapeutic work.
