How her approaches work for remote sessions
Maureen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build motivation for change. CBT focuses on noticing thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes to see what helps. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify their own reasons for change and strengthen commitment.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and try practical steps that produce quick feedback. That approach is useful for people who want concrete, achievable actions and measurable progress. Deciding which mix of methods to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan together.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join from different locations when international sessions are appropriate. Maureen frames remote work around practical scheduling and what helps each person keep therapy part of their routine.
