Therapeutic approaches and working online
Marcus integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques to tailor support to each person. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and respect, creating space for individuals to explore their feelings and make sense of their experiences at their own pace - it is often helpful for relationship concerns, grief, and self-esteem work. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with addictive behaviour. Mindfulness approaches teach present-moment awareness and practical strategies to manage stress and emotional reactivity, supporting improved emotional regulation and calmer responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Marcus works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors sessions rather than applying a single method, and he invites regular reflection on progress and adjustments when needed.
Online therapy with Marcus is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to access therapy from varied locations and to choose the communication style that feels most practical and effective for the individual.
