Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values even when anxiety or doubt is present. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maureen collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and daily life. She combines these approaches as needed and adjusts the plan over time so techniques fit what actually helps in the person’s life.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try different ways of working to see what feels most effective.
