Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Marsha Rimler

Marsha Rimler, LCSW, draws from attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns - this approach helps when difficulties in close relationships, trust, or emotional connection are central concerns. She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and supports clients in discovering their own solutions by validating their experiences and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another approach she employs to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop practical skills for managing mood, stress, and day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marsha works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She and the client review progress and adjust techniques as needed to support meaningful change.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access care from locations throughout New York. Licensed professionals and therapists can tailor session formats to what works best for each individual, making consistent progress more achievable.
