Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Mary Tobias draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) to guide online work. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the individual’s own perspective and uses empathy and active listening to build a collaborative relationship that supports personal growth and decision making. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. EFT focuses on emotions and attachment in relationships, helping partners and family members understand underlying emotional responses and strengthen connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mary works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts strategies over time so treatment reflects the client’s evolving priorities.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility and easier access to care. These formats make it simpler to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and engage in therapy from familiar settings while working with licensed professionals and therapists skilled in remote care.
