Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Maria Picciotti draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility so they can act in ways that matter to them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and learning practical techniques to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Maria collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time, combining elements from different approaches when that better serves the client’s progress.

Online therapy in her practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from locations outside the therapist’s immediate area.
