How Marilyn Integrates Therapeutic Approaches Online

Marilyn often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and connections. This approach helps people understand relational habits and build healthier ways of relating to others.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, offering a respectful, non-directive space where clients lead the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports personal insight. This method is useful for people seeking empathy and a collaborative pace for change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT is another approach Marilyn may use to help identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for coping. CBT tends to focus on specific patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, or low mood and on skills to manage them.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marilyn works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as responses and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access sessions around work, family, and daily life. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that suit their routines and comfort levels.
