Evidence-Informed Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Dr. Sr. Marian Mikhail integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, offering practical strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to accept uncomfortable thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life - it can be especially useful for stress, life transitions, and persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Sr. Marian Mikhail works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current challenges, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or mobility needs and help maintain continuity of support when in-person visits are difficult. The combination of established therapeutic techniques and multiple remote formats aims to make meaningful work on stress, grief, and life transitions more accessible.
