Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-centered therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and helps each person identify their own goals and strengths - this approach supports self-exploration and is useful for building confidence and improving relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve coping with daily stressors. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance techniques that can reduce reactivity to difficult thoughts and feelings and support emotional regulation.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Marisa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy with Marisa is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and access from home or other convenient locations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy routines, and choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for each client.
