How Maureen’s Approaches Work Online

Maureen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to guide online work. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with simple exercises and real-life practice. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building a person’s own motivation to change, useful for addictions or when someone feels stuck.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process where pacing and focus are adjusted as needs change.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins on a work break or after school. They also let the therapist and client try structured exercises and homework between meetings to keep progress moving.
