Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Marisa Colon uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing to guide online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathic space where the client drives the conversation and explores feelings - it can be especially helpful for issues like grief, low self-esteem, and loneliness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a structured approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, stress, and depressive symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative style aimed at strengthening a person’s motivation for change and can be useful when someone is working on goals related to confidence or motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people engage with care. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver effective support through these options, making it easier to access consistent care from wherever the client is located.
