Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Mariellen LePage draws on approaches that help people build flexibility, insight, and practical coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve functioning, often applied for depression, anxiety, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and experience, with an emphasis on empathy and collaboration to strengthen self-understanding and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mariellen works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made. The aim is to create a tailored plan that feels doable and relevant.

Online therapy makes these methods accessible through flexible formats. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to connect in ways that fit their schedule and daily life. This flexibility supports consistent care and makes it easier to maintain momentum between sessions with licensed professionals and therapists.
