Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care



Marlene draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client's goals and values guide the work. This approach centers the person’s own experience and is helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and navigating life changes.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT offers practical tools for coping and for changing patterns that get in the way of daily functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Marlene works collaboratively with each client to determine what techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt the plan as treatment unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules or limited mobility. These formats allow clients to access regular support from licensed professionals and maintain continuity of care without needing to travel, making it easier to fit therapy into everyday life.
