Approach and online session options
Ann Marie combines Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people make change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, understanding the person's goals, and building a respectful relationship so people feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches simple tools to reduce anxiety and depression.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name strong feelings. That approach can make emotions easier to manage and help clients move forward when grief, guilt, or relationship-related feelings are intense. Together these methods give options for hands-on skills, gentle emotional work, and a collaborative path toward goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. They will try methods and adjust over time so sessions fit the client's needs and pace.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation for skill practice and emotional work. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, real-time coping tools, or support between longer sessions.
