Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care
Amelia Rivera uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the individual's experience and goals guide the work; this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help people feel heard and build self-compassion. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is also part of her practice and focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Solution-Focused Therapy complements these methods by concentrating on practical goals and small, achievable steps that move a person toward the changes they want to see.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Amelia works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and circumstances evolve. This partnership helps tailor therapy to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and reach care from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in timing and communication style, allowing licensed professionals and therapists to adapt sessions to what works best for the person seeking support.
