Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Mariah Stockard

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns shape current connections. It helps people understand themes like abandonment, trust, and intimacy and can be useful for improving close relationships and emotional security.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathetic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the client’s goals guide the work. This approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and personal growth by honoring each person’s pace and preferences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is commonly used to address stress, anxiety, depression, and everyday coping challenges by building concrete strategies for change.
