Approaches and Online Options for Flexible Care

Maureen Colligan often draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy centers on the client’s experience, offering a nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens, reflects, and supports the person in finding their own solutions and meaning. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Trauma-focused therapy addresses the aftereffects of traumatic events with targeted techniques to reduce symptoms and improve coping, and it can help people process painful memories and rebuild a sense of safety.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Maureen works with each person to evaluate needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods over time to find what fits best. Licensed professionals can combine elements from these approaches to create a tailored plan that reflects where the client is and where they want to go.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, manage mobility or caregiving constraints, and maintain consistent care from different locations. This range of options helps ensure therapy is accessible and can be adapted to individual routines and comfort levels.
