Evidence-Based Tools, Made Accessible Online
Marlene Favors draws from well-established approaches that can translate well to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits and practicing more workable ways to respond, which can be especially helpful when stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, or life changes feel overwhelming.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while reconnecting with personal values. This approach can support people who feel stuck, discouraged, or uncertain about direction and want to take meaningful steps forward even when emotions run high. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, which emphasize emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for navigating intense emotions and relationship challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marlene collaborates with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what is most helpful in the moment, then adjusts the focus as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to stay consistent, fit support into a busy schedule, and access care from where you are.
