Prospective clients should confirm current session options before scheduling.

How these approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and life experience, with the therapist following the person's lead and reflecting what matters most. It helps when someone wants a space to be heard and to set their own priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to change patterns that increase anxiety or depression. It is useful for stress, mood shifts, and coping with change.

Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their reasons for change and build motivation in a nonjudgmental way. It pairs well with treatment for addictions, lifestyle shifts, and any situation that needs steady commitment.

Finding the right fit is a team effort. Mallory will work with each person to decide which approach, or combination of approaches, fits their goals and preferences. The plan can shift as needs evolve and progress is reviewed together.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also accommodate shorter or more frequent meetings when a quick check-in helps with momentum.
