Approaches used and how online sessions fit
Client-centered therapy centers the person's own goals and perspective. The therapist listens for what matters most and adjusts the work to those priorities, which helps when people need practical problem solving or emotional support.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It uses short exercises and homework like tracking thoughts and testing small changes to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lessen reactivity and improve focus. This approach is often used for stress, panic, and managing strong emotions.
Mary will collaborate with clients to choose the best mix of approaches. She uses the person’s goals, preferences, and daily routines to guide what methods are tried and when adjustments are needed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use practices in their everyday environments. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote work to keep progress moving between meetings.
