How her approaches translate to online work

Dr. McGuire commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change feelings and outcomes. CBT is helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy, an approach that helps people understand and change patterns in close relationships by mapping emotions and interaction cycles. EFT is often useful for relationship and intimacy-related issues. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another method she draws on; ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods to what feels most useful. Together the client and therapist decide which techniques to emphasize and how to pace work toward change.

Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to meet without travel. Talk with the therapist about scheduling needs and any practical adjustments that would help make sessions work for daily life.
