How her approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist prioritize your concerns and pace the work around your goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. In video or phone sessions CBT can be used to practice new ways of thinking and plan small changes between meetings. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable goals and what is already working; it helps people notice progress quickly and build on it.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Margaret will work with you to figure out which methods fit your needs and preferences, and she will adjust plans as goals change. You and the therapist decide together what to try and how to measure progress.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports short updates between sessions. These options provide flexibility so people can attend sessions from wherever they are and keep therapy consistent with daily routines.
