Integrating Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them, acknowledge difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and take value-driven actions. It is often used to address anxiety, stress, and life transitions by building psychological flexibility.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, acceptance, and creating a nonjudgmental space where people can explore their experiences and goals. This approach supports self-direction, emotional processing, and strengthening personal resources for issues such as grief, relationship and family concerns, and self-esteem challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve coping. It can be practical for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and problem-solving around daily life stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marilyn works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on needs, goals, and preferences. She blends techniques from these models to tailor a plan that matches the client’s priorities and pace.

Online therapy with Marilyn is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which increases flexibility for scheduling and makes it easier to maintain continuity of care. These options allow clients to access support from home or work and to use the format that best fits their communication style and daily routine.
