How Marisa's Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and feelings. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people describe what matters most to them. This suits concerns like grief, isolation, and low self-esteem.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions teach simple skills to notice unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and depressive feelings.

Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change. It uses open questions and gentle reflection to uncover personal reasons to try new habits or coping strategies.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to decide which methods to use based on goals, preferences, and what seems most helpful in early sessions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone's schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to everyday life so skills are practiced between sessions.
