Background and approach
Marie uses a mix of well-known therapy approaches to match each persons needs. She often uses cognitive behavioral methods to spot unhelpful thinking and acceptance-focused work to reduce the struggle with difficult thoughts. She also uses client-centered listening to make sure clients feel heard as they set goals.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety, including depression, anger, ADHD, panic attacks, phobias, and addiction-related issues. She also supports people dealing with attachment problems, communication difficulties, hoarding, isolation, and the fallout from trauma or domestic violence. Sessions may include skill practice, behavior experiments, and problem-solving that can be tried between meetings.
Marie pays attention to cultural and faith backgrounds when that is important to a clients healing. People who prefer flexible formats can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started is a short process that includes a matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How Maries Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for ongoing anxiety, worry, or low mood that interferes with everyday life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses exercises and experiments to test unhelpful beliefs and build more effective habits for managing panic attacks, phobias, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone works well for lower bandwidth or shorter check-ins, and live chat or text can suit people who prefer written exchanges or need frequent brief support. These options let people fit therapy into busy schedules or handle anxiety in moments when a quick message or chat helps most.
