Marisa helps people set realistic goals and adapts the pace to each person. She invites people to take the next step when they feel ready.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Marisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical changes. One approach emphasises building coping skills and step-by-step strategies to manage anxiety and stress, helping people notice triggers and practise new responses. Another approach concentrates on improving self-esteem and confidence through structured exercises and goal-setting, which can reduce avoidance and improve day-to-day functioning.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals and preferences, and to adjust the plan as progress is seen. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps with connection. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written exchanges or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel, and to use tools between sessions to support ongoing change.
