How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Maureen commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people identify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values. It can help with life transitions, stuckness, and finding direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Maureen will talk with the person about goals and preferences and then tailor methods to fit those needs. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust them over time based on what helps.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity during life changes. Ask about available scheduling options and how they might fit into your routine.
