04Online support
How Marshall’s approaches translate to online therapy
Marshall uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and to build practical replacements. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, and many stress-related concerns.He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help clients clarify their reasons for change and strengthen commitment. This approach is conversational and works well when someone is unsure about next steps or needs help deciding what to try first.
Trauma-Focused Therapy is used when past harm continues to affect daily life. It focuses on processing traumatic memories and reducing their impact on mood, relationships, and behavior.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust plans as progress is made.
Online sessions via video calls allow more in-depth work with facial cues and shared exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging enable brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, and step-by-step assignments between longer sessions. These formats give flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
