Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Andrea integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside mindfulness-based practices to address a wide range of concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Trauma-Focused Therapy emphasizes understanding and processing traumatic experiences in a paced, supportive way and is geared toward reducing trauma-related symptoms and improving regulation. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attuned practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional balance.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration helps tailor sessions to what will be most useful for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access licensed professionals while balancing work, family, and other commitments. These formats allow the therapist and client to work together consistently, offering continuity of care and the ability to use evidence-informed techniques in ways that fit a client’s daily life.
