Therapeutic approaches and online options

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following each person’s pace to help them feel heard and choose goals that matter. It is useful for stress, relationship worries, and when someone needs space to tell their story. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical tools to change patterns that cause distress. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related routines, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, known as DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which is helpful for strong mood swings, anger, and improving daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mary will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try different strategies to see what fits best. Decisions are made collaboratively and adjusted over time based on what is helping.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people have fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or times when written communication feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while trying methods that suit each client’s needs.
