Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Shana Maltzman draws on approaches that help clients make sense of emotions, shift unhelpful patterns, and build practical coping skills in day-to-day life. Client-Centered Therapy creates a supportive space where the client’s experience leads the way, helping people feel understood while they clarify goals and strengthen self-trust during periods of anxiety, grief, or life transition.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns by helping clients notice patterns, test new perspectives, and practice skills that support steadier mood and more effective coping.
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how earlier experiences and recurring relationship dynamics may influence the present. This approach can help clients understand deep-rooted themes, such as attachment concerns or reactions to loss, and develop greater insight and flexibility over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Shana Maltzman works collaboratively with clients to identify what feels most helpful, adjusting the pace and focus based on individual needs, goals, and preferences.
