Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Marian Hanson

Marian integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor therapy to each person's needs. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns - it helps people understand connection needs, rebuild trust, and improve relationship dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration - it supports self-exploration, self esteem, and personal growth by centering the client's perspective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is practical for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress by developing coping strategies and problem-solving skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marian works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains relevant and responsive to progress.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to access support from different locations. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care, respond between sessions when appropriate, and provide a consistent therapeutic relationship that supports ongoing work and change.
