Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on taking values-based action even when emotions are hard, which can be useful for anger, anxiety, or life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Sessions teach practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, often helping with depression, stress, and addiction patterns.
Marcel will work with each person to pick the best approach, and that decision is collaborative. He checks in on what goals matter most and adapts methods based on progress and preferences rather than using a single technique for everyone.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for longer, face-to-face conversations. Phone sessions suit people who need lower bandwidth or prefer not to use video. Live chat and text messaging can be convenient for brief check-ins, coaching, or when scheduling makes shorter exchanges easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or mobility limits while keeping the work focused on real-life changes.
