Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Maureen Connell draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be especially helpful for anxiety, relationship stress, and challenges with self-esteem.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns can shape adult connection, trust, and self-worth. It can be useful for people who notice recurring relationship dynamics, fears of abandonment, or difficulty feeling emotionally safe with others. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps individuals and couples better understand emotional needs and strengthen bonds by changing unhelpful interaction cycles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another, offering practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and build healthier coping strategies for stress and anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Maureen collaborates with clients to understand what is bringing them to therapy, what they want to change, and what style of support feels most helpful, adjusting the work over time as goals become clearer.
Online therapy also makes it easier to fit support into real life. Clients can meet with Maureen through video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility between sessions.
