Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Margarita uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and commit to actions that build a meaningful life, while teaching skills to accept difficult emotions rather than avoid them. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space so clients can explore their feelings and discover their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors by teaching practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Margarita works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals. Video calls and phone sessions allow real-time conversation and connection, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, more frequent check-ins and greater convenience for busy schedules. These options make it easier to receive consistent support from a therapist even when life is full of competing demands.
