Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses practical techniques like cognitive restructuring and behavioral activation to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to support new, healthier habits.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages greater psychological flexibility by helping people clarify their values, accept difficult emotions, and commit to meaningful action. ACT can be useful for managing avoidance, chronic stress, and patterns that interfere with valued living.

Mary Beth also practices client-centered principles that prioritize empathy, active listening, and collaboration, creating space for clients to feel heard and to guide the pace of their work together. She partners with clients to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Mary Beth is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can increase flexibility for busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent, goal-focused support in ways that fit clients’ daily lives.
