Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Mary Walston
Mary draws on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and learn practical strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety and low mood. CBT focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior to produce measurable improvements in daily functioning.
She also uses client-centered (person-centered) therapy, which emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the client s perspective guides the work. This approach helps people explore values, increase self-awareness, and build confidence in making life changes.
Attachment-based ideas inform her work with couples and families, helping clients examine relational patterns established early in life and how those patterns influence current connections and conflicts.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative part of the process. Mary partners with each client to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting methods over time to find what feels most effective and sustainable.
Online therapy with Mary can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access therapists and licensed professionals when in-person visits are not practical.
