Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Ann-Marie commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic relationship and helps people explore their feelings and values while building self-understanding and confidence - it can be especially helpful for grief, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.

CBT focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety and unhelpful patterns. It often includes skill-building exercises and clear steps that can be practiced between sessions to manage stress and anxious thinking.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting realistic goals and identifying small, actionable changes that lead to progress. This approach is useful for people seeking practical ways to cope with life transitions, parenting challenges, or immediate problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ann-Marie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. These options support continuity of care and allow therapists and licensed professionals to meet clients where they are, helping sustain momentum between sessions and accommodate different communication styles.
