Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship in which the client directs the pace and goals of therapy. This approach helps people strengthen self-understanding, self-esteem, and decision-making in relationships and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for addressing anxiety, depressive thinking, and coping skills. Narrative Therapy invites clients to examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, and to reframe those narratives to open up new possibilities for meaning and action, which can be especially helpful with grief, identity, and attachment issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cecilia will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. The chosen approach often combines elements from several models to fit the client's unique situation.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, and mobility needs, and they allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support across different life circumstances.
