How her approaches translate to online sessions
Marcia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to make connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT in this setting focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking, practicing small behavioral changes, and reviewing what happens when new responses are tried. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and attention-related challenges.She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and following the person's priorities. That means the therapist will offer structure and suggestions while keeping the person's own goals in view. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work and will be decided together based on needs and preferences.
