How Marissa’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation focused on the person's own priorities and experiences, with the therapist following the client's lead to build understanding and respect. This approach helps people who need someone to listen and reflect as they figure things out.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep and eating issues, and managing anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process helps match methods to what feels useful and doable for the client.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is helpful for face-to-face interaction, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
