How Mary Uses CBT, Mindfulness, and Narrative Work Online
Mary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into smaller pieces so you can test new ways of thinking and acting, which can reduce anxiety, anger, and depression.She teaches Mindfulness Therapy to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Simple breathing and attention exercises help people calm down and respond more thoughtfully to stress or strong emotions.
Narrative Therapy involves looking at the stories people tell about themselves and their lives. Mary helps people rewrite those stories so they reflect strengths and choices rather than only problems. This can be useful with grief, trauma, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean mixing CBT tools with mindfulness practice and narrative techniques over time.
