How Narrative, CBT, and Mindfulness work online
Mary uses Narrative Therapy to help people notice the stories they tell about themselves and to try alternate ways of describing their experiences. That approach can be useful for shifting perspective on identity, loss, and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping during stressful times. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on gentle attention to the present moment and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort. Together they may mix narrative exploration, CBT exercises, and mindfulness practices so sessions feel useful and practical.
