How her approaches guide online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace. It involves open listening, reflection, and adjusting the work to what matters most to the client. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marilyn will discuss what you want to change, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. Goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands guide which tools get used in sessions.

Session formats should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a work break. Talk with her during the match process to confirm available session options and to plan timings that fit your life.
