How Marjorie uses therapy methods online
Marjorie draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT offers concrete exercises and homework that can reduce repetitive worry or self-critical thoughts that feed guilt and shame.She also uses emotion-focused ideas to look at how feelings and attachment patterns show up in relationships. This approach helps when shame affects how someone connects, communicates, or asks for support. Mindfulness practices are used to ground attention and reduce getting swept up in painful memories or ruminating thoughts.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of the work. Marjorie will discuss goals, try methods, and adapt plans based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide together whether to focus on short-term problem solving or deeper emotional patterns.
