Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Maryleigh King commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). ACT helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client's own capacity for growth, creating a supportive environment for exploring identity, relationships, and self-worth. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, often used for anxiety, depression, and coping challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Maryleigh collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques and priorities together so therapy fits the individual's life and values.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility and accessibility for busy schedules, geographic distance, or mobility limitations. These formats allow licensed professionals like Maryleigh to provide consistent support, skill-building, and ongoing check-ins in ways that can be tailored to each client's routine and comfort level.
