Online support options
How Mary blends therapy methods online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting people where they are. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps people make choices that fit their values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors to find practical ways to reduce anxiety and depression through exercises and manageable changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating difficult moments without acting impulsively.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mary uses conversation and short assessments to decide which methods fit each person's needs and goals. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans so the approach stays useful and realistic as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for longer sessions and skill work that benefits from seeing expressions. Phone calls can fit a break during a busy day or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or step-by-step planning between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
