Online support
How her approaches work online
Margot commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes, which can be practiced between video or phone sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to manage anxiety and stress in daily life.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find personal reasons to change and make plans they feel ready to try. Choosing the right approach is a shared process - she works with each person to decide what methods fit their goals and circumstances, and adjusts the focus as progress is made.
Online work offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face when a longer conversation or visual cues help. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief updates or tools into a busy day. These options help people maintain continuity of care and try therapeutic techniques without rearranging their whole schedule.
