Remote therapy options and therapeutic focus
Marilyn uses a mix of client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to address concerns such as anxiety, panic, and low self-esteem. In client-centered sessions the emphasis is on understanding the client’s perspective and shaping conversation around their priorities. Cognitive behavioral approaches introduce practical strategies to notice patterns of thought and behavior and to try small, manageable changes over time.
For experiences related to trauma, Marilyn incorporates trauma-focused therapy methods that acknowledge past events while helping a client develop coping tools for present-day challenges. Solution-focused techniques are used when a client prefers brief, goal-oriented work that highlights strengths and steps toward specific outcomes.
Online offerings include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Marilyn aims to collaborate on which combination of approaches and communication modes best fits the client’s goals and schedule.
