Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
MAIDA draws on several evidence-informed approaches that translate well to remote work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - it can help with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and coping under pressure. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes empathetic listening and collaboration, supporting clients to define their goals and build self-understanding as the main pathway to change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and MAIDA works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals may integrate elements from different approaches over time to suit progress and changing priorities.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from home or while managing work, caregiving, or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, practice skills between sessions, and fit therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed therapist.
