Approaches That Guide Online Work

Denise Marie often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when working with clients online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, practice acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed actions toward a meaningful life - it can be useful for chronic stress, anxiety, and avoidance patterns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist offers genuine presence and reflection to help clients explore feelings and build self-understanding and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to shift them, which can support work on mood, anxiety, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Denise Marie collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so the work feels relevant and practical.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and choose the format that best suits one’s lifestyle and comfort level.
