How Marcus Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
A few approaches Marcus commonly uses are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or depression. It often involves practical exercises and clear steps to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on emotional regulation and distress-tolerance skills, useful for intense moods, anger, or problems with impulsive behaviors.He also draws on Motivational Interviewing when people are thinking about change. That approach uses short conversations to clarify goals and increase motivation for steps like cutting back on substance use or improving routines. Choosing the best mix of methods is collaborative - Marcus works with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than using one fixed program.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for in-depth conversations and teaching new skills. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, homework review, or ongoing encouragement between longer meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum on practical goals.
