Therapeutic approaches and accessible online support
Francisca commonly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques in her online practice. Client-centered therapy centers on empathetic listening and creating a supportive partnership so clients can explore their values and choices - this approach is well suited to building self-awareness, resilience and emotional processing. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical strategies and skill building - it is often used for anxiety, stress and managing mood or anger. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes goals and small, achievable steps to create immediate forward momentum and can be helpful for relationship concerns and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Francisca works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors sessions over time, combining listening, skills practice and goal-oriented work so the therapeutic plan fits the individual.

These options allow clients to access licensed professionals from home or another convenient location and to continue care in ways that suit their communication style and daily life.
