Approaches and Online Care with Licensed Professionals
Dr. Maria Peters integrates several evidence-informed approaches to meet different needs. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotions and behavior; it can be useful for people working through abandonment, attachment issues, or persistent relationship patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and problem-solving, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses distressing memories and trauma by combining focused recall with guided bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Peters collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. The therapist and client work together to adjust techniques over time so care remains aligned with progress and changing priorities.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and allow access to licensed professionals from different locations. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to maintain continuity of care when in-person sessions are not feasible.
