Mariana keeps conversation direct and practical. She listens first to understand what matters most, then helps set small, achievable goals. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings and on understanding patterns that keep problems going.

To begin, Mariana encourages a brief matching process and a scheduled first session so treatment can match practical needs and goals.

How Mariana’s Approaches Work Online

Mariana commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities so sessions feel grounded in what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are causing ongoing distress, using careful steps to process memories while keeping the pace manageable.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mariana will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that seem likely to help. She adjusts the plan as progress is made, inviting feedback so work stays relevant and practical.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share brief updates, ask quick questions between sessions, or have shorter check-ins during a lunch break. These options help people fit therapy into daily life without long commutes and make regular work on goals more manageable.
