Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Marj commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep anxiety or low mood active. It often includes practical exercises to try between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's concerns and priorities, letting their goals guide the work rather than a fixed agenda.She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce reactivity. These practices are presented as short skills to use in daily life, such as during moments of worry or before entering a stressful social situation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Marj works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions focus more on skills practice, problem solving, or reflective conversation.
