Online support
Attachment-informed and practical approaches online
Mary Jo blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioral and acceptance-oriented methods to help people understand patterns and build new responses. Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationships shape current expectations and reactions, which can help with trust, relationship worries, and feelings of abandonment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches values-driven action and mindfulness skills to handle difficult emotions while moving toward what matters.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Mary Jo collaborates with clients to test methods and adjust based on how well they fit each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to keep the process flexible and rooted in what helps a client make steady progress.
Online therapy lets clients connect in ways that fit their lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, parenting, or other responsibilities while still working on emotional growth and coping skills.
