Integrative Approaches and Online Therapy with Maria Barletta
Maria uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, non-judgmental environment where clients lead the pace of their work and identify their own goals. This approach helps people who struggle with self-esteem, relationship issues, and feelings of isolation by emphasizing empathy and personal agency.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours that fuel anxiety, panic attacks, and low mood. CBT offers practical strategies for managing symptoms and improving day-to-day functioning.
Psychodynamic therapy allows exploration of deeper patterns, such as attachment issues, codependency, and recurring relationship difficulties, by examining how past experiences shape present reactions and choices. These approaches can be combined flexibly so that therapy addresses both immediate concerns and longer-term patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Maria works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to determine which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration guides session focus and pacing.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which increase flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care across different circumstances while providing access to regular, structured therapeutic support.
