How Mary Jo uses therapeutic approaches online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and trust. Online sessions can help identify attachment patterns and develop new ways of relating that feel safer and more dependable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact; it provides concrete tools to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change unhelpful habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and mindful awareness to manage intense feelings and improve everyday functioning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they can try different techniques and adapt the plan when needed so the work fits the client's life and pace.

In general online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, keep progress going when travel or distance is a barrier, and allow a gradual pace for those who start more comfortably with messaging or phone before video. These practical benefits often help people stay consistent and apply skills in everyday situations.
