Client-Centered and CBT Support Online

Mary Hollow integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating a nonjudgmental space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work; it is often helpful for issues like grief, low self-esteem, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and to build alternative strategies; CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Mary works collaboratively with each person to explore what methods and techniques fit best given their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility and accessibility to that collaborative work. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work and family life, maintain continuity when travel or relocation occurs, and allow registered professionals to offer consistent support from a distance.
