How Mary uses CBT online and what to expect

Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice how thoughts and actions keep problems going. CBT sessions focus on practical steps such as testing new ways of thinking, trying behavioral experiments, and building routines to reduce anxiety or lift mood. This approach is often useful for stress, worry, sleep difficulties, and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mary will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques to try first based on their needs, goals, and what feels manageable. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress or barriers appear.
