Types of Psychotherapy Offered in Massachusetts
Effective therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Depending on what you’re working through, Dr. Maurasse may use:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
One of the most evidence-based approaches available. CBT helps you identify and shift thought patterns that fuel anxiety, depression, and avoidance behaviors.Psychodynamic Therapy
Useful when current struggles are rooted in earlier experiences. This approach explores how your past shapes your present patterns and relationships.Supportive Therapy
A structured, empathetic approach to building coping skills and emotional resilience — especially helpful during acute life stressors.Integrative Therapy
Many patients benefit from a blend of techniques. Dr. Maurasse tailors the approach to your specific presentation rather than applying a one-size method.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the right psychotherapist near me in Massachusetts?
Start with credentials and specialization. Dr. Maurasse is a board-certified psychiatrist with training in both therapy and psychiatric medication, offering a level of clinical depth that goes beyond standard counseling. Scheduling a virtual consultation is the best way to assess fit.
Is online therapy just as effective as traditional in-person therapy?
Research consistently shows telepsychiatry produces outcomes comparable to in-person sessions for most conditions, including anxiety and depression. Massachusetts Psychiatry offers HIPAA-compliant video sessions so you never have to compromise on quality.
What's the difference between a therapist and a psychiatrist for therapy?
A psychiatrist has a medical degree and can both provide psychotherapy and prescribe medication. This matters when your symptoms may have a biological component — or when you want the option of medication support without switching providers.
How long will I need psychotherapy?
It varies. Some patients see meaningful progress in 8–12 sessions. Others benefit from longer-term therapy spanning a year or more. Dr. Maurasse will work with you to set realistic expectations based on your goals.
Can I see a psychiatrist for therapy without also taking medication?
Absolutely. Many of Dr. Maurasse’s patients engage in therapy only. Medication is always a discussion — never a default.
