Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical tools to change them. It is often used for issues like anxiety, stress, and mood concerns by teaching skills for coping and problem solving.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and patterns influence current feelings and relationships. This approach can help people gain insight into recurring difficulties and make different choices in relationships and emotional responses.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clients’ goals and the steps that move toward those goals, emphasizing strengths and small, achievable changes. It can be especially helpful for people seeking short-term, practical strategies for specific challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa Carrillo works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques to tailor treatment to the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain consistent care from a licensed professional regardless of location within the same jurisdiction.
