Therapeutic approaches and how online work can help
Maureen often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches straightforward skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and decision-making challenges.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change. That method focuses on listening and guiding so clients feel more ready to take next steps toward goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
