How Maureen applies her approaches to online work

Maureen uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-based space where the person leads the pace and focus. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance, clarity, and guidance about what matters most to them.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try practical changes. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and for building small skills that change daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they choose or blend methods so sessions feel useful and realistic.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session options before booking since formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into busy days. It also lets people focus on specific goals, use short check-ins when needed, or try exercises between meetings to reinforce progress.
