Therapeutic approaches and online support

Marie Floyd blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and trauma-focused techniques to support people in making practical changes and processing difficult experiences. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping the person access their own strengths and goals - it is helpful for feelings of stuckness, self-esteem concerns and relationship issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression and unhelpful patterns. Trauma-focused therapy offers approaches that gently address traumatic memories and symptoms, including imagery-based methods that can reduce the intensity of distress related to past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Marie works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best, taking into account their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative exploration helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant to everyday life.

Online therapy with Marie can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, travel or busy periods while keeping the focus on meaningful progress with a licensed professional.
