Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Maricus draws from client-centered therapy to create a respectful, collaborative space where the individual's goals and values guide the work; this approach helps people feel heard and empowers them to make meaningful changes in relationships, self-esteem, and life transitions.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-focused method that examines how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact and teaches tools to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and cope with panic and mood symptoms.

Mindfulness therapy is another part of his practice, offering attention-based techniques that support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity, which can be helpful for stress, trauma responses, and ongoing anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Maricus works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then adapts techniques over time to fit changing needs.

Online therapy with Maricus is designed for flexibility and accessibility. Sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to engage in therapy in ways that fit their schedules and comfort levels while maintaining continuity of care.
