Approaches that translate well to online care
Mariah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on specific skills to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and manage everyday stress.She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past harm. This work helps people process painful memories and build safety and coping skills for triggers and flashbacks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Decisions about methods are made collaboratively and can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face connection when meeting in person is hard. Phone sessions can be a good option for lower bandwidth or when being on camera isn’t desired. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or fit brief conversations into a busy day.
These formats make it simpler to keep therapy steady while balancing work, childcare, or medical appointments. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and strategies so progress can continue even when meetings are remote.
