Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding the client’s perspective and building a collaborative relationship where the person feels heard and respected. This approach supports issues like self-esteem, motivation, and navigating life transitions by focusing on strengths and personal values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-focused, and it can be useful for addressing depression, anger management, and developing coping strategies for everyday stressors.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Marlene works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods and priorities as progress unfolds so the approach aligns with the client’s aims.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from varied locations and to continue consistent work on relationships, mood, and coping skills without disruption.
