Therapeutic approaches for online work

Marianne uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems because it focuses on practical steps and skill building. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to boost readiness for change. That approach centers on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own reasons to take steps forward. Solution-Focused Therapy is another tool she uses, emphasizing small, specific goals and quick strategies that can lead to noticeable improvement. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marianne works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in and adapts techniques as progress is made so the plan stays practical and relevant. Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls let sessions feel most like an in-person meeting, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or health routines.
