Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Marcie commonly blends cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered therapy to help people make practical changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood. Client-centered therapy centers the person's own goals and experience, with the therapist offering empathy and reflective listening to help people clarify what matters to them.She also uses methods aimed at processing traumatic memories when needed. These approaches help people reduce the intensity of past events and learn skills for managing strong emotions in daily life. Choosing which tools to use is a collaborative process and she will work with each person to find the best fit based on goals and what feels manageable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and emotional processing. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people touch base between sessions, track progress, or use brief support during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or parenting schedules while still using structured therapeutic approaches.
