How core approaches shape remote work
Mariellen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep, and managing cravings. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values-based action and accepting difficult thoughts so people can still move toward what matters. ACT can help with stress, grief, and chronic mood struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client discuss goals, try strategies, and adjust methods as needed. This collaborative process helps decide whether CBT, ACT, or other approaches fit best for a person’s situation and preferences.

Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use video or phone to maintain continuity of care, but please confirm which options this therapist offers when you set up your first appointment.
