How Maureen’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Maureen uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sure sessions focus on what matters most to the person. That means listening closely and following the client’s lead to set priorities and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and lift mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Maureen will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest combining methods that suit those needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also help when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a lower-bandwidth option. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like CBT and trauma-focused methods to work effectively in remote sessions when those formats fit the client’s situation.
