Online support options
How Maureen’s Approaches Work Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which helps with addictions and goal-focused work. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical steps and quick wins to move people toward their goals rather than dwelling on problems.Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels comfortable, then try approaches that match those needs. Clients remain in charge of the pace and topics, while the therapist suggests techniques and keeps sessions action oriented.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a face-to-face feel and fuller conversation. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are handy for short check-ins, quick coaching, and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
