Remote therapy approach
Marian integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her remote practice. Client-Centered Therapy centers on empathic listening and helping individuals articulate their goals. CBT focuses on recognizing thought patterns and developing practical strategies to address unhelpful behaviors. DBT provides structured skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.
She works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their concerns and current needs. Her trauma-informed training informs how these approaches are adapted when addressing post-traumatic stress, panic symptoms, or complex grief.
Remote appointments are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility in how people engage. These options are selected in partnership with the individual to support consistent contact and the preferred mode of communication.
