How Marcus Uses Therapy Methods Online
Client-centered therapy places the client's concerns and goals at the center of each session. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and letting the client set the pace so work stays relevant to their life and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and tests small changes in behavior. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood struggles and gives practical exercises to try between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. These skills can help when feelings feel overwhelming or when relationships are a source of stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marcus works collaboratively to pick strategies that match a client's goals, needs, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to emphasize.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for shorter check-ins, coaching-style support, or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and changing life demands.
