How Maureen’s approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. In practice this means the therapist reflects what she hears and helps the person name priorities and goals. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to sort through emotions and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Maureen uses CBT to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes that can improve mood and reduce anxiety. This method often includes short exercises or homework between sessions.

Motivational Interviewing is a brief, collaborative way to explore ambivalence and build motivation for change. It’s practical for someone unsure about next steps or wanting extra encouragement to start new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Maureen will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and may combine methods to fit what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps set realistic targets and a clear plan.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat may suit quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different formats to see what works best.
