Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care
Dr. Ana Cristina Atanes commonly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based methods in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and helps the individual explore their own goals and values - it is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship strains and life transitions. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviors interact; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, anger and unhelpful coping patterns. Mindfulness-based practices cultivate present-moment awareness and self-compassion, which can reduce stress, burnout and symptoms related to chronic pain and compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Atanes will work with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences and adapt the mix of techniques accordingly, checking in as therapy progresses to ensure the approach remains a good fit.
Online therapy with Dr. Atanes is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and needs.
