How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Marie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and practical change. One common approach emphasizes learning coping skills and breathing or grounding exercises to reduce anxiety and manage stress; these tools are useful for day-to-day moments of overwhelm. Another approach centers on building motivation and confidence through structured conversations and small behavioral steps to practice between sessions; this helps when people feel stuck or facing major life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest techniques to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, coaching-style support, or quick tools between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and busy days.
