How Marj uses proven approaches in online work
Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person's goals and views the therapist as a collaborator. It helps people clarify what matters most and directs sessions around their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and shifting behaviors that keep problems going; it can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and substance use.Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as circumstances and priorities shift.
