How Mary Uses Different Approaches Online

Mary commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful actions even when discomfort is present; it can help with motivation and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy centers your experience and priorities, offering empathic listening and collaborative problem solving to help you feel heard. CBT looks at thinking patterns and behaviors, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Mary will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together you can try different strategies and adjust the plan based on what fits your life and produces useful change.

Many people find online therapy easier to fit into busy schedules, whether for shorter check-ins, evening sessions, or to reduce travel time. The specific session formats offered should be confirmed during the match and scheduling steps, so check current options before booking. Online work can still include skill practice, check-ins on homework, and values-based planning that slot into everyday routines.
