Approaches that guide online care
Mary commonly uses client-centered therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) as part of her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and respecting the person's own expertise about their life, helping people set goals and try practical steps. DBT teaches skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and handling stress in the workplace or at home. EMDR is a set of techniques used to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and to support recovery after trauma.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She tailors techniques based on what someone wants to achieve and how they prefer to work, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
