Background and approach
This means framing steps that fit day-to-day life and building skills that can be used between sessions. AnneMarie draws on a mix of approaches when working with people. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to spot and shift unhelpful thinking.
She also uses attachment-based ways of looking at patterns that began in early relationships. She brings tools from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing when people need help managing strong emotions or finding motivation to change. These methods offer concrete skills for coping and for making steady progress.
Many clients come with worries about parenting strain, caregiver stress, workplace problems, or feeling empty or stuck. She helps people examine family of origin issues, codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, and life purpose questions. The aim is clearer choices and more steady daily functioning.
Sessions are practical and paced to each person. AnneMarie supports people who want to build self-love, stronger relationships, and better emotional balance.
Approaches and online therapy options
AnneMarie commonly uses attachment-based techniques and cognitive behavioral therapy during online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and connections, which can help with relationship worries and caregiver stress. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood.She also incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy when people need help with intense emotions and motivational interviewing to support change and goal setting. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which approaches fit best based on their goals, concerns, and day-to-day life. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels realistic and workable.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances, phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and text messaging can fit into busy schedules for ongoing support. These options help people access consistent care while fitting therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.
