How CBT adapts to online therapy
Marian primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thinking patterns that worsen mood and anxiety. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying different behaviors to see what helps; it is often used for depression, anxiety, and mood concerns.Working together, the therapist and client choose which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made. Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Marian helps determine the best fit based on symptoms, daily life, and personal goals in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let people talk face to face while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter connection is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other obligations.
