How her approaches guide online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and behaviors. It helps people understand patterns in close relationships and build safer ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical tools to test and change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the center of the work. The therapist listens without judgment and helps clients find their own path forward.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marilyn will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together so sessions feel useful and relevant.
