Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Maria often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions and focuses on values-based steps. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teach practical skills for managing anxiety and mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when stronger emotional connection and clearer communication are goals, helping people track and change patterns that drive distress.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Maria works with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. She will check in, try approaches, and adjust the plan so it feels useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual connection, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep work focused on practical changes.
