Approaches That Guide Online Care

Maryann Steiner uses evidence-based methods to guide online therapy, beginning with client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead, helping with relationship concerns, self-esteem, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with chronic conditions. She also uses hypnotherapy when appropriate to support focused work on habits, anxiety symptoms, or motivation issues.



Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Maryann will work with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and adapt techniques over time so the treatment plan fits the individual's situation and evolves as progress is made.
