Evidence-informed approaches used online and by phone
Many of Mari's sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage worry and improve relationships. Cognitive-based methods focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and building new thinking habits to reduce anxiety and worry. These approaches teach concrete skills for handling stress and social anxiety.Attachment-informed work looks at how past relationships affect current connection and trust. This can be useful for people dealing with abandonment, communication problems, or difficulties forming close bonds. It often involves learning new ways to ask for support and to set healthy boundaries.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mari will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then tailor methods that fit their needs. The process is collaborative and adjusts as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions or live chat can be easier on low-bandwidth connections or for shorter check-ins. Text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions and can fit into a work break or a hectic day.
