Integrating therapeutic approaches through online sessions

Marilyn draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. CBT provides practical tools for managing symptoms and building problem-solving skills that many people find useful for stress and career or relationship challenges.

She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to support people in clarifying their values and learning skills to accept difficult emotions while committing to meaningful action. ACT can be helpful for coping with life transitions, grief, and issues that provoke ongoing distress. Attachment-based ideas inform her attention to relational patterns and early family dynamics, which can be important when addressing intimacy concerns, family problems, and parenthood issues.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore goals, preferences, and the nature of presenting problems and then tailor a blend of methods that fits the person's needs. That collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in planning their care and adjusting strategies as therapy progresses.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity during life changes. These formats allow licensed professionals to offer ongoing skills coaching, emotional support, and therapeutic interventions with flexibility around location and timing.
