Approaches and Accessibility for Online Therapeutic Work
Mary Jo Brill uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors, which can be especially useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and anger management. She also draws on psychodynamic therapy to explore how past experiences and underlying emotional patterns influence current relationships and reactions, offering insight that can shift long-standing patterns. In addition, solution-focused techniques are used to set clear goals and build small, achievable steps toward desired changes, helpful for clients seeking tangible progress in specific areas.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mary Jo collaborates with each client to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time as goals evolve and as different techniques prove more or less helpful.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and needs. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without rearranging major parts of daily life, and they allow therapy to continue when in-person meetings are not possible.
