Practical approaches for online therapy and change

Marcus combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered work to help people changing how they think and act. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building on the person's own strengths, helping people feel understood while they set personal goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marcus will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then pick methods that match those needs. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to real-life concerns and keeps the focus on practical steps.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and styles. Video calls let people work face to face when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or during a quick break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to get regular support and keep therapy working around daily life.
