Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s own goals and values guide progress. It helps people who want a collaborative space to explore feelings, make meaning of experiences, and build self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches ways to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for relationships and overwhelming emotional reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Luz works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts methods as progress unfolds so the plan fits each person’s life and challenges. This collaborative process helps clarify which techniques will be most useful at different stages.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue work during life transitions, and maintain regular contact in between appointments with licensed professionals and therapists. For many people, remote care makes consistent support more attainable and sustainable.
