Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Marcia commonly draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with issues like attachment difficulties, grief, and family conflict by exploring relational histories and building safer connection strategies. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process - the therapist offers empathy, acceptance, and active listening to help clients find their own solutions and grow self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve daily functioning.Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Marcia works collaboratively with each client to identify methods that align with their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts her approach as therapy progresses so that the plan reflects what is most helpful in practice.
Online therapy with Marcia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and life circumstances. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to maintain continuity of care across locations, and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the client.
