Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Beatriz integrates evidence-informed methods that focus on thoughts, stories, and motivation to help people navigate change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and stress and to build practical coping skills. Narrative Therapy explores the personal stories people carry, helping to reframe challenges and highlight strengths for relationship, family, and identity concerns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused approach that supports ambivalence and helps clients find internal motivation for change, useful for career shifts, parenting goals, and lifestyle adjustments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Beatriz works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She listens to lived experience and adjusts techniques so therapy feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy with Beatriz is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and allows people to access support from home or while traveling. These options can help fit therapy into busy lives and provide consistent access to licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location.
