Therapeutic approaches for online care

Gloria integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic methods alongside client-centered principles to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills. Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape current feelings and relationships, which can help with deeper issues like trauma, relationship conflict, and long-standing emotional patterns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist supports the client’s own goals and strengths while tailoring sessions to their pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gloria collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts treatment as progress unfolds so the plan remains responsive and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into a busy life and to maintain continuity when travel or scheduling challenges arise. Licensed professionals can use these formats to provide consistent therapeutic support that matches the client’s preferred way of communicating.
