Approaches
Attachment, Client-Centered Work, and Online Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds and patterns of relating influence current relationships and emotional responses. It can help people understand attachment needs, improve connection with others, and work through issues like separation, grief, or relationship conflict. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist listens deeply and supports the client’s own capacity for growth - this approach is useful for building self-understanding, self-love, and working through shame or isolation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and behaviours by teaching practical skills for managing anxiety, panic, mood shifts, and workplace stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Marilyn works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the focus over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the client.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and those who prefer remote access. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into daily life, and access support from familiar surroundings while working with registered professionals and therapists.
