Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care Options

Dr. Mary Ann Meli commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy as part of her clinical work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s experience guides the work - this approach can be especially helpful for building self-esteem, exploring life purpose, and processing grief.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping strategies - it is frequently used for anxiety, depression, mood challenges, and problems with motivation. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention practices that can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation, which many clients find useful for sleep problems, ongoing worry, and managing daily pressures.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Mary Ann Meli works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds.

Online options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited mobility. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access licensed professionals and therapists from home or other convenient locations.
