Approaches and Online Care with Maria Williams

Maria commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the individual’s own goals guide the pace and content of sessions - it is often useful for building self-esteem, exploring identity, and improving communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify patterns of unhelpful thinking and behavior and then develop practical skills to shift those patterns, which can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also uses Motivational Interviewing when clients are weighing change - this approach supports motivation by exploring personal values and ambivalence in a collaborative way.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Maria works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Maria is offered through options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for those with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility constraints. These remote formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and to continue work toward goals across life transitions.
