How her approaches work in online therapy

Markyse uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s lead and focus on what matters most. That approach emphasizes listening, acceptance, and helping people name their goals before deciding what to work on.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT offers clear exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety, low mood, or difficulty at work.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and decide collaboratively which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single path.

Confirm the session formats available when you schedule, as the site lists current options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - they reduce commute time, allow quicker check-ins between obligations, and can be scheduled during workday breaks. For some people, the chance to join a session without being on camera or to use a phone call helps them engage more comfortably. Licensed professionals can adapt tools like CBT worksheets, mindfulness practices, and music-related interventions to an online setting so progress continues between meetings.
