Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Maria Valtierra
Maria commonly integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to explore values, feelings, and goals - it is helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. CBT teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and awareness practices to reduce reactivity and increase emotional regulation, supporting work with stress, grief, trauma symptoms, and obsessive or compulsive patterns.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Maria works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved and empowered in their care.
Online sessions with licensed professionals offer flexibility and accessibility. Maria provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules, comfort levels, and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain consistent work on goals from home, during work breaks, or while managing caregiving and other responsibilities.
