Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Maria-Ann Bulley draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused methods to tailor online care to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration - the therapist listens closely and helps clients discover their own solutions, which is useful for building self-esteem and working through emotional pain. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and practicing new skills to reduce anxiety, depression and stress responses. Solution-focused therapy helps clients set practical goals and identify small, achievable steps to move forward when facing life changes, relationship problems or day-to-day challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Maria-Ann works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences and pace. She adapts techniques as progress is made, aiming to combine practical tools and emotional support.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and for people who are not local. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, manage appointments around work or family commitments, and access therapy from different locations.
