Therapeutic approaches for online care
Maria Holmes commonly uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment where the client’s perspective guides the pace and goals of treatment - it can be especially helpful for building self-esteem, trust, and clarity around personal values.CBT involves identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into more balanced patterns; it is practical and skills-oriented, often used for stress, anxiety, and managing addictive urges. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, which can reduce reactivity and support coping with grief, trauma reminders, and chronic worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Maria works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals can deliver these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility in scheduling and format. Online options make it easier to access consistent care from home or while traveling, helping people maintain momentum and fit therapy into busy lives.
