How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Marie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions often include brief exercises and homework tasks clients can try between meetings to see what helps with stress or anxiety.She also integrates Client-Centered elements that focus on listening and reflecting what matters to the client, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques to name and work with relationship-related emotions. These approaches help with relationship strain, intimacy concerns, grief and family conflict by combining practical steps with attention to feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She treats selection of methods as a collaborative process, discussing the client’s goals and preferences and adjusting methods as progress is reviewed.
