Evidence-based approaches and online options for parenting challenges

Maribeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-world changes. One common approach emphasizes building practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, teaching breathing, planning, and stepwise exposure to reduce avoidance and increase confidence. Another approach centers on improving self-esteem and motivation by identifying strengths, setting achievable goals, and practicing actions that reinforce positive self-view.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Maribeth works with each person to understand their goals, values, and daily routine, and she adjusts methods over time based on what works. The goal is to find approaches that fit the client’s life and feel manageable between sessions.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins, quick skill reminders, or support when a shorter interaction is helpful. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting duties, and other commitments.
