How Maricsa Uses Practical Approaches Online

Maricsa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts that worsen anxiety and low mood. CBT focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior to produce calmer responses and clearer choices.

She also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. Mindfulness helps reduce reactivity and supports better emotional regulation during stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and revisited as progress is made.
