Practical evidence-based approaches for online care
Maria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood - this approach helps people notice triggers, test unhelpful beliefs, and develop alternative ways of responding. She also works with skills-based strategies that build coping, emotional regulation, and resilience, offering practical tools for managing stress, improving motivation, and boosting self-esteem. Additionally, Maria provides supportive exploratory work to help clients navigate life changes and build confidence through goal-setting and reflective exercises.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Maria collaborates with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and together they choose methods that feel most helpful. This collaborative stance helps ensure the plan fits the client rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access registered professionals from home or other convenient locations. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work consistently during periods of change or limited mobility, while still maintaining meaningful therapeutic contact.
