How Marina’s approaches translate to online therapy

Existential Therapy invites people to reflect on meaning, choice and life direction. In an online session this can help with midlife questions, immigration decisions or feeling stuck. Conversations focus on values and what matters now.

Solution-Focused Therapy centres on small, practical steps and clear goals. In remote sessions the therapist and client agree short tasks to try between meetings and check progress. This approach suits stress, anxiety and specific relationship or communication goals.

Internal Family Systems looks at different parts of a person and how they interact. Online work can help a person identify inner critics, caretaking parts or avoidant patterns and practise new responses over time.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss how each method might fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences and adapt the plan together. Clients often try one method and adjust it as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling. These options give practical flexibility for people balancing work, family or travel.
