How Marjorie adapts therapy approaches for online work

Marjorie integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to shape online sessions. Client-centered therapy means the conversation follows what matters most to the client, with the therapist reflecting and clarifying so the client feels heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and boost self-esteem.

She also uses elements of emotionally-focused work to help name and make sense of strong emotions, and mindfulness techniques to teach short practices for calming and focus. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process; the therapist and client review goals and preferences together and adjust methods as they go.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking since they are not listed in the biography. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent and apply tools in real daily situations.
