Evidence-Based Therapy, Made More Accessible Online
Mary McNeil uses structured, research-informed approaches that translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. It can be especially helpful for stress and anxiety by identifying patterns and practicing new coping skills in real time.She also incorporates Trauma-Focused Therapy, which supports clients in understanding how difficult experiences can continue to affect emotions, relationships, and daily functioning. The work is paced carefully, with an emphasis on building steadier regulation skills and tools for moving forward. Solution-Focused Therapy adds a practical, goal-oriented framework, helping clients clarify what they want to be different and take manageable steps toward change.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mary works collaboratively with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and current challenges, then adjusts strategies to fit what is most useful and realistic for their lives.
Online therapy offers flexibility without losing the structure of a real session. Clients can meet with Mary by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access support during busy schedules, across life transitions, or when in-person options are limited.
