Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Marissa O'Connor integrates approaches that help clients feel supported while also building practical skills they can use between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a non-judgmental space where clients can explore what they are experiencing at their own pace, which can be especially helpful during periods of stress, grief, life transitions, or low self-esteem.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps connect thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, or overwhelm become easier to notice and shift. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness, which can be useful when feelings run intense or hard to manage.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Marissa collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that fit the person, not just the problem. As needs change, the plan can change too, keeping therapy responsive and relevant.
Online therapy also makes support easier to access. Clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it simpler to stay consistent even with busy schedules, parenting demands, or shifting routines.
