Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

Mary Verberne blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness techniques to meet each person where they are. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and partnership so clients can explore their values and goals in a supportive context - it is helpful for relationship challenges, self-esteem, and identity questions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety or depression. Mindfulness therapy introduces present-focused awareness and grounding practices that can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mary works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods over time, drawing from different approaches as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Mary is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and lifestyles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, reduce travel time, and allow clients to engage in therapy in ways that feel most accessible and sustainable.
