How Maureen’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy places the person’s goals at the center of each session. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what she hears, and helps people clarify their priorities and choices. This approach is useful for stress, low motivation, and relationship concerns.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm the mind. These techniques can help with anxiety, grief, and ongoing stress by building awareness of thoughts and bodily sensations.

Narrative therapy looks at the stories people tell about their lives and relationships. Together the client and therapist identify unhelpful storylines and try out alternative ways of describing experiences, which can reduce shame and open new possibilities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maureen will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the mix of approaches over time as progress and priorities change.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when a fuller conversation is helpful. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a simple check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, written reflection, or ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into everyday life.
