Therapeutic approaches for online care
Marina often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when working online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. ACT helps people notice difficult feelings, clarify values, and take meaningful action even when emotions are strong.She approaches treatment collaboratively. The therapist and client work together to pick an approach that fits the client’s goals and day-to-day life. That may mean trying one method for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can fit during a break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick check-ins, skill coaching, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
