Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Marla Moreno

Marla integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing into her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding techniques that can help with stress, emotional regulation, and reconnecting with physical sensations. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, useful when working on habits, substance use, or lifestyle shifts.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Marla works with clients to clarify goals, review progress, and adjust methods so that treatment aligns with each person’s needs, abilities, and preferences. She emphasizes collaboration and practical steps toward meaningful change.

Online therapy with Marla is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access care from home, and maintain continuity of support regardless of location within Oregon. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver focused, skills-based work that fits each client’s routine.
