Approaches and online therapy support

Maura integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and building a trusting relationship, helping people explore their values and goals at their own pace - it is useful for concerns like life transitions, isolation, and finding meaning. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety and depression, making it a common choice for stress, mood concerns, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Maura collaborates with each person to determine what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She works together with clients to adjust techniques over time and to blend approaches when that better supports progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility in how people engage in therapy. This range of options makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, accommodate health or mobility needs, and maintain continuity of care across different life circumstances while working with a licensed professional.
