How Mary’s approaches translate to online therapy

Mary uses attachment-based ideas to notice how early relationship patterns show up now, helping clients understand connection and trust issues and how they affect current relationships.

She also uses client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities, listening closely and shaping the work around the client’s own goals and pace.

Mindfulness techniques are used to teach simple ways of noticing thoughts and calming strong emotions, which can be helpful for anxiety, sleep problems, and managing intense feelings tied to past trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Mary will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and daily life. That decision can shift over time as progress is made and new challenges arise.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in the same environments where they want change to happen.
