How Marian Uses CBT Online and What to Expect

Marian uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress. CBT sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying new behaviors that lead to better mood and functioning. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress-related problems.

She also applies trauma-focused processing approaches to address traumatic memories and their ongoing effects. These methods help people make sense of painful events, reduce the intensity of intrusive memories, and rebuild daily routines that feel manageable. Work is paced to the person's tolerance and goals.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Marian will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and will adjust methods as therapy progresses. The goal is to find practical strategies that fit the client's life and goals rather than forcing a single method.
