Online support
Approaches that translate to online care
Maria combines client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, and EMDR as part of online therapy. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead to build trust and clarify goals; it helps when someone needs a space to be heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR addresses upsetting memories with structured processing and can be used when trauma memories are a core issue.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. Approaches may be combined and adjusted as progress is tracked over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or for people who express themselves better in writing. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit therapy into busy days.
