Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In plain terms it looks at connection, trust, and how to change repeating interaction habits that cause pain; it can help with relationship struggles, attachment issues, and codependency.Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's goals and experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people find their own answers, which can be useful for building self-esteem, self-advocacy, and making life decisions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marianne will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust work as needs change. That shared planning helps make sessions feel focused and useful rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and easier to fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging works well for brief check-ins, journaling-style reflection, or building skills between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue care across changes in routine.
