Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care with Marlea

Marlea uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting those experiences dictate their choices. ACT focuses on values-driven action and can help with anxiety, depression, grief, and navigating life changes.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathy, respect, and attuned listening. This approach supports clients in exploring their own goals and strengths at a comfortable pace, making it useful for building self-trust and coping with transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool in Marlea’s practice, helping clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to change behaviors. CBT can be particularly effective for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress-related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Marlea collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Marlea offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier for clients to access regular support around work, caregiving, or other obligations, while maintaining continuity of care regardless of location.
