Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Marquita Clay uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This approach offers practical tools for managing depression, anxiety, and stress by focusing on actionable strategies and skill building. She also incorporates dialectical behavioral techniques that teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - skills that are especially helpful for intense emotions, anger, and relationship challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic method is a collaborative process. Marquita works with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting techniques over time so the treatment plan fits the client s needs and supports measurable progress.

Online therapy with Marquita is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during transitions, busy routines, or when in-person visits are not practical, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor their approach to each client s circumstances.
