How Maria Uses CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Work Online
Maria often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT usually involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to see what helps reduce anxiety or low mood.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them even when uncomfortable feelings remain. Client-centered work is part of her approach too, offering space for people to describe what matters most and shape the goals for therapy.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Maria will discuss options with the client and decide together which methods to try based on the person’s goals and preferences. Plans can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
