Therapeutic Approaches for Remote Care

Marilyn uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients are encouraged to explore their concerns at their own pace and identify personal goals. This approach helps with relationship issues, self-esteem, grief, and life transitions by centering the client s experience.

She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people recognize and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day coping challenges because it focuses on practical skills and problem-solving.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is another tool in her practice, offering skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions, anger, and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marilyn works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts methods over time to find the best fit for progress.

Online therapy with Marilyn is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to receive consistent support around work, family responsibilities, and other commitments while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor care to individual circumstances.
