Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Marilyn uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress and tends to be goal-oriented and skills-based.

She also draws from Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the client leads the pace and goals of treatment. This approach supports self-exploration and is often helpful for people coping with grief, family challenges, or life transitions.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Marilyn treats that as a collaborative process. She partners with clients to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques over time so the plan fits the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and therapists can also support people through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity across life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations.
