How evidence-based approaches work in online therapy

Maryann uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage emotions and improve relationships. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against reality, which can reduce anxiety and depression by changing how a person responds to stress. Another approach emphasizes skills for better communication and boundary-setting, useful for relationship strain, codependency, and commitment worries.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Maryann will talk with each person about their goals and what feels most useful. She adapts techniques over time so the plan fits what the person wants to change and how they prefer to work.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten a check-in when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find that meeting remotely helps them maintain continuity of care during life transitions and manage chronic health or caregiver responsibilities without adding extra trips.
