Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Gabriela uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, empathetic relationship that encourages clients to explore their feelings and priorities at their own pace. This approach is helpful for relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and building self-esteem because it emphasizes the client’s perspective and strengths.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT tools can be especially useful for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related struggles by offering concrete strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can support people who experience intense emotions, conflict in relationships, or urges to engage in self-harm by teaching practical coping techniques.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of therapy. Gabriela works with clients to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting methods over time so the work feels relevant and effective.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, school, parenting, or life transitions. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact with a licensed professional, accommodate different communication styles, and continue care from wherever the client is located within the clinician’s service area.
