Evidence-based approaches and remote care
Markellila uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside coaching practices. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps people notice patterns and try small changes that change how they feel and act.Another approach centers on building concrete skills for stress and parenting strain, such as setting limits, planning routines, and practicing calming exercises. These techniques are practical and aimed at improving daily functioning and confidence.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. She discusses options with each person, tailors strategies to their goals, and adjusts plans as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide together what feels most useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and messaging are convenient for brief updates, coaching-style guidance, or quick strategies between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
