Background and approach
Solution-Focused Therapy narrows attention to what works now and what can be done next. Motivational Interviewing is part of how she helps people find their own reasons to change. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the work rooted in each person’s values and choices.
Together these approaches shape a flexible plan for progress. Parents often leave with a checklist of actions to try at home. For ADHD concerns she focuses on routines, task management, and breaking tasks into smaller parts.
For social anxiety she helps practice conversation skills and step-by-step exposure. Anne Marie aims for respectful, down-to-earth conversations. She helps people build lasting habits and clearer direction one session at a time.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding the person first and following their lead. It means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients choose goals that match their values and family life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Online CBT often includes working on specific thinking patterns, practicing new behaviors, and trying short homework exercises between sessions to build new habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines, then recommend a blend of methods to try. Clients can give feedback so the plan is adjusted over time in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and role play. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief questions, progress notes, or when someone prefers written exchanges. These options make fitting therapy into a busy schedule simpler and let people try different formats to see what helps most.
