When life purpose questions come up, she helps clients break those questions into manageable steps. This can include clarifying values, testing small changes, and noticing what shifts in daily routines feel meaningful. Markita frames these as ongoing experiments rather than quick fixes.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment is handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location. The initial steps make it simple to try a session and see if her style fits.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Markita integrates evidence-based techniques that focus on regulating strong emotions and changing patterns that keep people stuck. One approach emphasizes emotion regulation skills - learning simple breathing, grounding, and distress-tolerance methods to reduce immediate overwhelm and make thinking clearer. Another common focus is on building resilience and coping strategies, which involves identifying current stressors, testing small behavioral changes, and strengthening everyday routines to reduce mood swings and anxiety.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. She will review what you want to change, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps you make steady, manageable progress. This collaborative method helps clients see what fits their needs and goals over several sessions.
Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current offerings before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday lunch break, require less travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals often use remote sessions to keep therapy accessible alongside work, caregiving, or other daily commitments.
