Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Maria often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person without judgment and helping them find their own path forward. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and then practices different ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help you choose or combine methods based on your needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video is useful for a full session feel, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can serve as shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it easier to keep appointments, balance work or caregiving, and continue momentum between meetings.
