CBT-Focused Online Care and Flexible Communication
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, skills-oriented approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used to address stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and difficulties adjusting to life changes by teaching practical coping strategies and problem-solving techniques.
In addition to core CBT methods, Maria uses skills-based techniques drawn from CBT to support communication, relationship challenges, and grief processing. These techniques emphasize clear goals, homework between sessions, and tools clients can apply in everyday situations to manage emotions and improve interactions.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Maria works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time so the plan evolves as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments, and allow clients to maintain continuity of care from different locations with licensed professionals and therapists who can support ongoing growth.
