Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care
Mari Carter uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and panic. Motivational Interviewing is another key approach she employs - it is a collaborative, strengths-based method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, often used in work with addiction and behavior change. Solution-Focused Therapy complements these methods by concentrating on goals and actionable steps, building on existing strengths to create small, achievable change.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Mari works collaboratively with each person to determine which combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and circumstances shift.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to connect with licensed professionals from home or elsewhere. These formats can accommodate different communication styles and life demands, helping people access consistent support that fits their routine.
