Evidence-based therapy, adapted for online care
Marlene Favors integrates practical, evidence-based approaches that translate well to online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and replacing them with more supportive alternatives, which can be especially helpful for stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and coping with life changes.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and emotions while building actions guided by personal values. This approach can be useful when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed by change, or unsure of direction. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills often emphasize emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and more effective communication, supporting clients who want steadier ways to respond to intense emotions, anger, or relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marlene collaborates with clients to understand what they are experiencing, what they want to change, and what matters most to them, then tailors therapy to match their goals and preferences.
Online therapy also offers flexibility. Clients can connect by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into a busy schedule or during demanding life transitions.
