Remote sessions that combine skills and reflective work
Mary delivers online care using a mix of structured skill building and reflective exploration. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and develop committed action. Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to support present-moment awareness and stress management.
For clients focused on anxiety, Exposure techniques are available to reduce avoidance through graded practice. Motivational Interviewing and psychoeducation are used to enhance engagement and understanding of symptoms and, when relevant, discussion of psychotropic medications is included as part of treatment planning. Sessions are collaborative, with Mary inviting input about goals and pacing to fit each person’s needs.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to choose the format that works best for them while maintaining continuity of care.
