How Maria’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting people where they are and following their lead. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping clients name their goals so sessions stay relevant to everyday life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and introduces small skill-based changes to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Maria will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying CBT tools for thinking patterns one week and using Motivational Interviewing techniques the next to strengthen motivation for change.
