Evidence-Based Approaches and Remote Care

Mary uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. One common approach involves cognitive and behavioral strategies that help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teach actionable skills to manage anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms. These techniques are practical and often include goal-setting and coping skills practice to support symptom reduction and improved mood.

Mary also applies trauma-informed methods that prioritize safety and pacing when working with experiences of abuse or trauma. This work emphasizes stabilizing skills, processing at a sustainable pace, and building resilience to help clients regain a sense of control and wellbeing.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mary works with each person to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to attend regularly, fit care into a busy life, and maintain continuity of support from licensed professionals and therapists.
