Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can help with anxiety, stress, and situations that feel stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape how people seek closeness and safety; it is useful for communication problems and relationship stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marie will discuss these methods with each person and choose what fits their goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative - goals and techniques are picked and adjusted together as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is needed. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick reflections, homework review, or connection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and life demands.
