Approaches you may use in online sessions

Marlea draws from cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and build more useful habits. CBT often involves short exercises and clear practice between sessions, which can make progress feel tangible.

She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and to take value-driven steps even when feelings are difficult. ACT focuses on building flexible responses instead of trying to eliminate every uncomfortable emotion.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Marlea works with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. She supports experimentation and adjusts the plan based on what is most helpful over time.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy life.
