Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carla collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as trust grows and circumstances evolve. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to individuals, couples, and families.

These remote formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access professional support from licensed professionals when in-person visits are not possible or convenient.
