How narrative and attachment ideas shape online work
Mariah uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problems and reframe personal stories. This approach can help with issues like depression, eating concerns, identity questions, and feelings of emptiness by finding different ways to tell and act on life events.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and how early connections affect current communication and intimacy. That work can be useful when people want to understand recurring conflicts, commitment worries, or attachment-related anxiety.
Client-Centered Therapy guides the tone of sessions so the person’s goals and pace lead the process. Mariah aims to listen closely and adapt methods to each person’s needs rather than following a rigid plan.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Mariah works collaboratively to test what fits best for a person’s goals and comfort level, adjusting methods as progress is made. She invites questions and checks in on how the work is going so plans evolve together.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quick check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief notes, progress updates, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help clients fit therapy around school, work, or parenting responsibilities.
