How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Marielle works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques and present-focused, intuitive interventions. Evidence-based techniques involve structured, practical tools to manage symptoms like anxiety and stress, such as learning simple coping strategies and behaviour changes that can be practised between sessions. Present-focused interventions concentrate on what is happening now in a person’s life and relationships, helping them try different responses in daily situations.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through the options and try methods that fit a person’s goals, needs and preferences. Sessions may shift over time as different strategies are tested and reviewed together.

Discussing practical availability and how sessions will fit into day-to-day life is part of the initial matching and scheduling steps.
