Approaches in Online Therapy with Marquita Dempsey

Marquita draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, empathetic space where clients lead the conversation and feel heard. This approach helps people who want to explore personal values, build self-esteem, and gain clarity about their relationships and life goals.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often applied to issues such as anxiety, depression, and difficulties with motivation and sleep.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marquita works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they may try different strategies and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Marquita is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
