Approaches that guide online sessions

Dr. Maric often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress.

She also works from a client-centered perspective that prioritizes the person's experience. This approach means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client's pace and goals. Mindfulness techniques are another common tool she brings in to help people develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. They will try approaches that fit and adjust the plan over time so it stays relevant to the client's needs.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to keep a conversation going between sessions or to fit shorter check-ins into a busy day.
