Remote sessions and approaches
Maria offers online care using several therapeutic approaches that can be adapted to remote formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy encourages noticing and working with specific thought and behavior patterns to reduce distress and support practical changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and learning ways to act in alignment with those values while allowing difficult internal experiences to be present. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental collaborative relationship that centers the person’s own goals and experience.
These approaches can be combined to match what an individual prefers and finds most useful. In remote work she tailors conversations and treatment plans to the person’s needs and aims to work alongside them in setting goals and tracking progress. Sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for different communication styles and schedules.
