Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Denise Marie integrates several evidence-informed approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. This approach often supports people navigating life transitions, grief, or persistent worry by building psychological flexibility and values-based action.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, supportive relationship where clients can explore their experiences at their own pace. It can be a helpful foundation for strengthening self-esteem, processing relationship concerns, and reconnecting with inner strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Denise Marie works collaboratively with clients to shape therapy around their goals, needs, and preferences as those become clearer over time.

Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Clients can connect through video calls or phone sessions, and they can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added accessibility between scheduled sessions or when a written format feels easier.
