How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Mariama uses client-centered therapy to create a space where the client’s goals, values, and lived experience guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration and is well suited to issues of self-esteem, life adjustments, and decision-making.She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and impulsivity. CBT is often used to teach coping skills and to reframe unhelpful thinking patterns.
Trauma-focused techniques are applied when past or recent traumatic events affect daily functioning. These methods aim to reduce trauma-related distress and to build skills for managing triggers and emotional responses.
Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. Licensed professionals and therapists work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailor a plan that feels most helpful for that individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, and shorter interactions through live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from different locations.
