Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Marie uses client-centered methods to create a respectful, empathetic space where a person’s experiences and goals guide the work. This approach emphasizes listening, validating strengths, and helping clients explore choices that feel true to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship difficulties by teaching concrete skills for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning.

Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and build internal motivation. It is especially useful for issues like addiction, ambivalence about relationships, or making lifestyle shifts by focusing on personal values and small, achievable steps.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Marie works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals as needed to determine which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, address care needs from different locations, and maintain continuity of support when in-person visits are not possible.
