Approaches Mary names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Mary Ann often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices in online sessions. CBT helps people notice patterns of thought that feed anxiety or low mood and then test small behavioral changes to see what helps. Mindfulness work teaches simple awareness and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a joint effort. Mary Ann will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques that match those goals, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. The process is collaborative and paced to the client's needs and preferences.

Online sessions come in several formats: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video is not needed, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose the format that suits their attention and comfort level.
