Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Maureen Mccullum

Maureen uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-focused method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values, mindful acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, and committed action toward a meaningful life - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy creates a supportive, empathic space where the therapist follows the client's pace and perspective to strengthen self-understanding and self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Maureen works collaboratively with each person to determine which strategies align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists can combine techniques so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy with Maureen can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most effective for the client's day-to-day life.
