Online support

How Mary’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Mary often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify what matters to them, and take steps toward those values. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with big life changes.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress or mood problems, and then practices specific strategies to change them. Attachment-based ideas are woven into sessions to address relationship patterns and how past connections shape current reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary will discuss goals and preferences and may blend methods so the work fits each person’s needs. She emphasizes working together to decide what helps and adjusts as progress unfolds.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is well suited for longer sessions and in-depth work, phone can be a lower-bandwidth alternative, live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or travel while keeping consistent care.
