Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Marla draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and motivational interviewing to guide online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening deeply and tailoring support to each person's values and goals, which is helpful for people navigating life changes and relationship concerns. CBT examines the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and offers practical tools for managing symptoms like anxiety and depression. Motivational interviewing helps people explore their readiness for change and strengthens internal motivation to address behaviors such as substance use or patterns that interfere with wellbeing.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marla works with each person to identify goals, try interventions, and adjust strategies based on what is most effective and comfortable, ensuring the treatment plan reflects the client's needs and preferences.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexible options that fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and stay connected to a licensed professional when life is busy or circumstances make in-person visits difficult.
