How Dr. Marshall Uses Therapy Methods Online

Dr. Marshall uses client-centered therapy to start. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel understood and build on strengths to face relationship and family stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it can help with self-esteem, motivation, and coping with difficult situations.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, is applied when people want to improve emotional connection and resolve attachment patterns. It is useful for repairing relationship rifts and deepening trust over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with clients about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. The process is collaborative and paced by the client's needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, notes between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
