Therapeutic approaches offered through online sessions
Maria Cox integrates evidence-informed approaches suited to different needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and can be especially helpful for people struggling with abandonment, attachment issues, or repeated relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process - the therapist offers empathy and nonjudgmental listening to support self-discovery and personal growth, which can aid issues like low self-esteem and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms and improve everyday functioning - it is often used for anxiety, low mood, and coping with stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Maria works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify which methods best match individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and effective for each person.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility and accessibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care and access support from different locations while working with a therapist whose approaches align with the client’s priorities.
