How her approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. McGuire commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions often include simple exercises, homework, and clear steps to manage anxiety, low mood, or stress.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed action toward them. ACT can be useful when someone wants to move forward despite difficult feelings. Client-centered therapy is another part of her work and emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a person sets the pace and direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. This helps shape a plan that matches what matters to the client and what feels doable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text can support quick check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life and make it easier to keep consistent care.
