Online Therapy for Eugene Students and Adults

The Shape of a Term

A term can follow a familiar arc. The first weeks feel roomy, so starting early seems optional. Then deadlines and exams arrive close together, and work you meant to spread out lands in the same few days. After the final push comes relief, and maybe a promise that next term will be different. If that arc keeps repeating, it says something about the pattern, not your character. Marie's CBT approach looks at the whole cycle, including the early weeks where it begins.

Checking the Beliefs Behind the Crunch

That last-minute panic is the loud part, but quieter thoughts set it up weeks earlier: "There is still time," "I work better under pressure," or "It is not worth starting until I can do it properly." In CBT, you can check beliefs like these against your own record, including what last term's crunch cost you in sleep, stress, and the quality of your work. Then you might try one change, such as starting a single assignment two days sooner, and compare how it went.

Where ADHD Screening Fits

If starting, tracking time, and following through are the hardest parts, ADHD and executive functioning may be worth exploring. Marie offers ADHD screening. She does not prescribe or do testing, but she can help you connect with a psychologist for a comprehensive evaluation, or a psychiatrist to explore medication options. A diagnosis is not required to begin. Sessions can focus on first steps small enough to start, deadlines you can see coming, and quieting the harsh voice that shows up when something slips.

Adults Balancing Work and Home

Students are not the only ones living by deadlines. Adults balancing a job and a household can stall at the same starting line: the form that needs filling out, the appointment that never gets booked, the project at home that stays half done. Online sessions mean therapy does not add a drive to an already full week. The work is the same as it is for students: one real example, one small change to try, and an honest look at how it went.

Getting Started From Eugene

Many students prefer video between classes. You need to be inside Oregon whenever you join a session, so plan around any stretch you spend out of state. Individual sessions run 50 minutes at $200, usually weekly. A cancellation needs at least 48 hours' notice, and a session shifted within that same week counts as a reschedule. Start with a free 15-minute consultation by phone or video; a brief note on the contact page is enough to request one.
