Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach helps people explore feelings, build self-awareness, and make choices that fit their life priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and develop strategies to address anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and support coping with stress, trauma responses, and mood challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Maria works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds. The aim is to tailor the work so it feels relevant and workable for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility to meet people where they are. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, licensed professionals can provide consistent support around scheduling constraints, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic limits. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapeutic approaches that address stress, relationships, parenting, trauma, and other concerns without sacrificing convenience.
