How Marilyn applies therapeutic approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that matter. It helps people who feel stuck or who want to reconnect with what matters after a life change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and lift mood. It is useful for stress, panic, depression, and managing ADHD symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple exercises to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marilyn will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She uses clear, practical steps and adjusts the plan as needs change so that sessions stay focused on what the client wants to accomplish.
