Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Flexible Options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then identify personal values to guide meaningful action. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes where building psychological flexibility matters.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, offering practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with sleep or routines.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to the emotional bonds and patterns within relationships, helping partners and family members understand and shift interactions that cause distress. It is especially helpful for intimacy-related issues, attachment concerns, and relational trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mariellen will work collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailor methods that best support progress. This collaborative stance allows adjustments over time as circumstances and priorities change.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, live chats, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy lives and to access help from different locations. These options support continuity of treatment and allow therapists to use the same clinical approaches effectively across formats.
