Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Marilyn DeLuera draws from several evidence-informed approaches that adapt effectively to remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience without judgment, helping clients feel heard and supported while they explore self-worth, life purpose, and relationship concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines patterns of connection formed early in life and in adult relationships; it helps people working through abandonment, attachment issues, relationship conflict, and family dynamics by strengthening emotional bonds and regulation skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, and coping difficulties, offering practical tools for day-to-day symptom management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marilyn works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adapts techniques from different models as needed to create a personalized plan of care.

Online therapy with Marilyn is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and clients who live outside her state. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists committed to practical, compassionate support.
