How her approaches translate to online sessions
Maureen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT often focuses on small experiments and practical exercises that a person can try between sessions to test new ways of coping.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help clarify personal goals and resolve mixed feelings about change. This method is helpful when someone is unsure about taking the next steps on issues like substance use or building new routines.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Maureen will discuss these methods with each person and together decide which strategies match their goals, needs, and preferences. She frames therapy as a co-pilot role, with the client guiding what to focus on.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list formats explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Discuss practical scheduling or session length needs during the first meeting so sessions can fit into everyday routines.
