Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Mary O'Dell uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, collaborative space where the client's values and goals guide the work. This approach helps people clarify identity, explore personal priorities, and build self-compassion while addressing issues like life transitions and relationship concerns.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT offers concrete tools for changing reactions and improving daily functioning. Mindfulness therapy complements these methods by teaching present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that can reduce rumination and support emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Mary partners with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration allows therapists and clients to adjust techniques over time and focus on what yields the best progress.
