Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Mary Pollock integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening to the client's own perspective and building a therapeutic relationship that supports self-directed change - it is helpful for people navigating life transitions, relationship issues, and questions about personal values.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people explore and strengthen their own motivation for change, which can be especially useful in addressing addiction and readiness for new behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mary Pollock works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies and pacing to the individual rather than applying a single method across the board.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and for clients who need different formats at different times. These options make it easier to access consistent care while accommodating work, family, and other obligations.
