Approaches that guide online care
Aliza Castro uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy to tailor care to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental environment where the individual’s priorities and strengths drive the work; it is helpful for building self-understanding, navigating life changes, and improving relationships. CBT teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy introduces present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, which can aid in coping with trauma, cravings, and chronic stress.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Aliza Castro collaborates with each person to assess goals, preferences, and practical needs, and then adapts methods over time so the plan fits the client rather than the other way around. This collaborative, flexible stance helps people stay engaged and make steady progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing work to continue across busy schedules, geographic distances, and changing life circumstances. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists while maintaining continuity of care and building momentum toward goals.
