Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Prof. Margaret Anzalone commonly uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based approaches to support emotional and relational work. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and creating a nonjudgmental space so people can explore their values, identity, and relationships at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and calming practices that can aid in managing stress, emotional reactivity, and repetitive thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Prof. Anzalone works collaboratively with each person to select methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines techniques as appropriate and adjusts the plan over time so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make scheduling more flexible and allow people to access therapy from different locations. These formats support continuity of care for busy schedules, caregivers, or those living outside the therapist s immediate area, while still enabling meaningful, skill-focused, and reflective therapeutic work with licensed professionals.
