Background and approach

Dr. Markus uses methods that help people notice thoughts and behaviors, practice new skills, and set clear goals. She draws on evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies.

Motivational interviewing is also part of her toolkit for people wrestling with change. People who come to her often want help with concentration, memory, or focus, as well as issues like addiction, intimacy concerns, eating, and self-esteem. She also supports those dealing with grief, divorce, money stress, or midlife shifts.

Her work includes addressing mood disorders, panic, and trauma when relevant. Sessions are adapted to each person’s pace and priorities. Dr.

Markus invites honest conversation and practical problem solving. She aims to make the work feel manageable and relevant to daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Markus uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood problems, and trouble with focus or panic. She also draws on mindfulness techniques that teach simple ways to notice the present moment and reduce reactivity, which can help with stress and emotional ups and downs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, adjusting as progress is made. The process is guided and practical, with an emphasis on what helps in daily life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats provide flexibility for people juggling work, parenting, or health concerns and make it easier to fit sessions into real schedules. The variety of formats also allows for shorter check-ins or longer sessions depending on what a person needs at the moment.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
