How Marian’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It prioritizes the client’s goals and uses empathy to help people clarify what matters most and build toward it.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools for managing anxiety, mood shifts, sleep, and unhelpful behaviors through small, focused exercises.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying realistic next steps and using strengths already present. It is useful for people who want quick, actionable ways to move past a problem and track progress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life demands to decide which methods fit best. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan as progress is made so work stays relevant and realistic.
