Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Toby Faye Mailman draws on established approaches to help clients address emotional and relational concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors - it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes understanding relationship patterns and emotional bonds formed early in life to improve current relationships and resolve issues related to abandonment or trust. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s perspective, offering empathetic listening and support so people can clarify their goals and build on their own strengths.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mailman works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts methods over time so therapy fits the individual’s circumstances rather than forcing a single model on everyone.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which expand access and make scheduling more flexible. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, ongoing support across different settings, helping people stay engaged with therapy while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
