Evidence-based approaches for online support

Maria uses a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques that translate well to remote work. Cognitive and behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical coping strategies - these approaches are often used for stress, anxiety and low mood and help clients build skills to manage day-to-day difficulties. Trauma-informed and processing-focused work helps people who have experienced abuse or traumatic events to understand responses, process painful memories and develop safety and regulation skills in a paced way. Relational and family-focused approaches explore patterns in relationships and support improved communication and problem-solving for couples and families facing conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Maria collaborates with each client to understand their needs, goals and preferences and then tailors the methods used to fit their situation. This collaborative way of working helps ensure that the chosen techniques feel relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter conversations can be offered via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments and increase access for people who may not be able to attend in-person appointments, while preserving the same professional therapeutic relationship with registered professionals and therapists.
