Maria Masci

Therapy Approaches and Online Access

Maria commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take small committed actions toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach can help with anxiety, depression and trouble making meaningful changes.

She also draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening without judgement and following the client's pace and perspective. That method supports people who need a steady, empathetic space to make sense of emotions. Maria may incorporate psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns and past experiences that influence present behaviour, useful for issues such as relationship difficulties, attachment concerns and unresolved hurt.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will discuss options and try different methods to see what fits. The decision is collaborative and based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences rather than a single technique.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection when a fuller conversation is helpful, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or when being on camera is difficult, and live chat or text messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing support easier to fit around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists using these approaches, can adapt formats so therapy works with a person’s life.
