How Mercy’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's goals and values. Online sessions using this approach center on the client's priorities and on practical steps they want to try. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without judgment, and it can teach short practices to reduce stress and improve focus for everyday life. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people resolve mixed feelings and move toward change by clarifying personal reasons for making a shift.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mercy will help figure out which methods fit a person's needs and goals. She tailors techniques as therapy progresses, checking in about what feels useful and what should change.
Confirm the current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also help people continue care after a disruptive event like a disaster, since sessions can be scheduled around recovery tasks and shifting routines.
