How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and values, then choosing actions that fit what matters. It can help when worry or avoidance blocks important life steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports understanding and shifting emotional responses to improve relationships and self-awareness.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. Maria will talk with each person about goals and preferences and shape the plan collaboratively. That means experiments and small tweaks to find what helps most in day-to-day life.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick review is needed. They also let people work from different locations if that makes scheduling simpler. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions, and the practical exercises from ACT and CBT adapt well to an online setting.
