Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Prof. Margaret Anzalone

Prof. Margaret Anzalone integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to support practical change and personal growth. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where a person’s experience and values guide the work, helping with issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, panic, and many daily stressors.

She also weaves mindfulness practices into sessions to help people develop present-moment awareness, emotional regulation, and stress reduction skills. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Prof. Anzalone works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the mix of strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without travel, and they allow therapy to fit into varied routines while maintaining a therapeutic connection and continuity of care.
