04Online support
Practical approaches for online therapy
Marcus uses client-centered therapy to create a listening space where people can share without feeling judged; this approach helps when someone needs support sorting out feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when reactions feel intense.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marcus will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try methods that match those needs. That way the plan can change as progress is made and new issues come up, keeping the work collaborative and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
