Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Maricela Nunez draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to guide her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy provides targeted strategies to process and integrate traumatic experiences while reducing their ongoing impact on daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Maricela works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She values client input and adapts interventions in partnership so therapy remains relevant and respectful of each person s pace.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to meet clients where they are, accommodate busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible. The variety of options supports ongoing engagement and makes it easier for clients to access consistent therapeutic support.
