Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with ongoing anger, avoidance, and stress by shifting focus toward meaningful behavior. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches skills to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different responses, which can reduce reactivity and build better coping routines. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and present-moment awareness to reduce automatic reactions and increase control over impulses.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marilyn treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients pick or combine methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That plan is adjusted over time based on what helps the person make steady progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people practice skills in situations they actually face at home or work, so lessons translate directly to daily life.
