Online support options
Using Attachment, CBT, and Mindfulness Online
Mary Jo uses attachment-based work to look at patterns in relationships and to teach ways to build safer, more predictable connections. That approach is helpful for people dealing with relationship strain, attachment concerns, or parenting stress.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. CBT offers concrete steps for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and many daily-life challenges. Mindfulness therapy is another tool she uses to help people develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mary Jo will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adapts plans over time and encourages small experiments between sessions to see what helps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full session with visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Messaging and live chat offer brief check-ins and a gentle way to start therapy or manage anxiety between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
