Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning practical skills to change them. It is often used to address stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes by teaching tools for managing thoughts, emotions, and actions.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, client-centered approach that helps people find their own reasons and motivation for change. It can be especially helpful for increasing readiness, building confidence, and supporting shifts in behavior related to parenting, relationships, or recovery from difficult experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Leslie Garza, as a licensed professional, works together with clients to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen over video calls or by phone, and shorter exchanges are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from a licensed therapist from different locations.
