How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following the client’s lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects what you say, helps you name what matters, and supports the goals you choose. It can be helpful for people dealing with relationship strain, self-esteem concerns, and grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mary will discuss your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The biography does not specify which online session formats she offers, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit isn’t practical. Therapists can also use worksheets, brief between-session tasks, and real-time conversation to keep work moving forward.
