Approaches that translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and interactions. It helps people notice repeated patterns with partners or family and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and building concrete coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on the cycle of emotion in close relationships and helps people name and work through strong feelings to change recurring interactions.Finding the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. Marianne will listen to what matters most and suggest which methods to try first. Together they set goals and adjust methods as needs and life circumstances change.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let people see one another and use visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day, and messaging options allow shorter check-ins or ongoing reflections between meetings. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
