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

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Mary commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working with clients. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which is useful for depression, stress, and anger management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest methods to try. Decisions about techniques and homework are made together and adjusted as progress is tracked.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat sessions are useful for shorter check-ins or ongoing coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent even with busy days or travel.
