Therapeutic approaches for online counseling with Maysun
Maysun incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and patterns of negative thinking by teaching practical skills and experiments to change reactions. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and partnership so clients feel heard and supported while exploring their values and goals. Additionally, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) may be used to help people accept difficult emotions and commit to actions aligned with their values, which can be useful for coping with stress, trauma aftermath, and life transitions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors techniques so the treatment feels like a good fit. This collaborative stance helps clients participate in deciding what methods to try and how to measure progress.
Online therapy with Maysun is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across life changes and can broaden access for those who prefer remote sessions with licensed professionals.
