Practical Approaches for Online Change

Marie integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work to offer both structured skill-building and person-focused support. CBT involves identifying unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior and practicing concrete strategies to shift them, which can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and eating-related concerns. Client-centered work prioritizes the client’s perspective and creates a collaborative space where the therapist follows the person’s lead, useful for exploring self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marie discusses goals and preferences with each client and adapts methods as therapy progresses so that the approach matches evolving needs. This means starting with one framework and integrating techniques from others when it better serves the client’s aims.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. Remote formats can make it easier to maintain continuity during busy periods and to practice skills between sessions, while allowing clients to access licensed professionals from their own location.
