Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Marika Dillard uses a warm, collaborative, and goal-oriented style that can work well in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive space where clients can explore what they are feeling and what they want, at a pace that feels manageable. This approach is often helpful when someone wants to feel heard, build self-trust, and sort through life transitions or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is more structured and practical, helping clients notice patterns between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It can be useful for challenges like stress, anxiety, low mood, and day-to-day coping, especially when clients want tools they can practice between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy keeps attention on strengths and small, achievable next steps, which can be a good fit for clients who want clear goals and measurable progress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marika works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and to adjust the focus over time as those needs change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, continue care during travel or transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
