Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Maribeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people learn skills to manage strong emotions and reduce anxiety through step-by-step exercises and coping strategies. Another approach centers on identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior and testing new ways of responding to improve mood and daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. That process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan over time to find what helps most.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps, while phone sessions can be easier when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections, and flexible support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and continue work consistently from different locations.
