Approaches and online therapy options

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's goals and priorities and creates space for people to lead the conversation and set the pace. This approach helps when someone wants a supportive listener and guidance tailored to their values and everyday life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD-related challenges where planning, organization, and managing distractions are part of the work.

Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with focus, emotional regulation, and coping during stressful moments.

Mari treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. People often combine elements from different approaches to get what works best for them.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can be helpful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when a shorter, flexible touchpoint is needed. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and caregiving responsibilities.
