How therapy approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and practicing concrete alternatives to change mood and functioning. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleeping or eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and pacing, so the conversation follows what matters most to the individual and builds a trusting working relationship.Mariellen treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods to use. The plan can change as progress is made, and clients are involved in choosing what feels most helpful.
