Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns and focuses on practical tools to shift patterns that contribute to distress.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people explore their readiness for change and strengthen their own motivation. It is useful for navigating life transitions, making behavioral changes, and clarifying values and priorities.

Brief Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, achievable steps and builds on existing strengths to create forward movement. It is well suited to clients who want targeted, goal-focused work and practical strategies for resolving current challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and adapts her approach over time so therapy remains useful and relevant.

Online sessions offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access licensed professionals from different locations, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and receive support when it is needed most.
