Therapeutic Approaches and Online Counseling Options
Marissa Katz Bellani often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support clients in practical, understandable ways. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports taking values-driven action even when life feels challenging. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on offering empathy, unconditional positive regard, and a nonjudgmental space so clients can explore themselves and move toward greater self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marissa works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She tailors sessions so the client and therapist together decide the best path forward.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling and makes it easier to access care from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to offer consistent support while accommodating work, family, and mobility needs, helping people maintain momentum in their therapeutic work.
