How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Marianna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical problem solving and emotional skills. She aims to help people manage anxiety and stress by teaching clear breathing, grounding, and thought-refocusing strategies that can be practiced between sessions. These methods help reduce immediate overwhelm and improve day-to-day coping.She also works on attention and motivation with simple behavioral approaches such as breaking tasks into smaller steps, setting brief goals, and building consistent routines. These techniques are useful for people wanting better concentration, memory, and follow-through on important tasks.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to each person's needs, goals, and comfort level. This collaborative process helps decide which techniques to try first and how to adjust them over time.
