Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care
Marian commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic stance that helps people explore their feelings and values at their own pace. This approach supports issues like relationship difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions by prioritizing the client’s experience and personal goals.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-focused method that helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is often applied for anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and coping with stressful situations. When appropriate, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques are integrated to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for clients dealing with intense emotions or relational conflict.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marian works together with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress is made.
