Approaches that guide online work
Mary often uses client-centered work, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and emotionally-focused methods. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the person’s agenda, helping them name and build on their strengths. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Emotionally-focused work looks at patterns in relationships and helps people notice feelings and responses that repeat in close connections.Finding the right approach is a shared process. Mary will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that match those aims. She adapts strategies over time, combining skills practice with deeper reflection so the work fits daily life and long-term changes.
