Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Marsha combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people manage anxiety and stress. Client-centered work focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience, so the goals come from what matters to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at unhelpful thought patterns and teaches practical skills to change reactions and behaviors.She also uses elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address relationship distress by helping people recognize and express core emotions. These approaches aim to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve how people connect with others. Marsha works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversations when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit short check-ins or quick coping support during the week. These options make it possible to fit counseling into a busy schedule and continue work between appointments.
