Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care

Marcia Koetting integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship by listening deeply and honoring the client as the expert of their own experience; it helps individuals explore values, strengths, and personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-oriented approach that helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Marcia collaborates with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions to individual circumstances and works with clients to adjust techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Marcia offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to maintain continuity of care across changing schedules, and to access consistent support from licensed professionals without the need for in-person travel.
