Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s perspective, offering empathy and acceptance while helping people increase self-awareness and explore their values and identity; it is often useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and provides practical tools to address patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people clarify their reasons for change and build motivation and commitment to personal goals.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Juanita works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She may integrate techniques from different approaches to tailor work to an individual’s situation.
Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer greater flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules or geographic constraints. These options allow clients to choose the communication style and pace that feels most comfortable, making it easier to engage in ongoing work and maintain momentum between sessions.
