Therapeutic approaches for online care and personal growth
Marissa Herrera draws on evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online formats. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and adjustment challenges by teaching concrete skills to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people explore and strengthen their own motivation for change; it can be especially helpful for addressing addictions, lifestyle shifts, and readiness-related barriers. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact, and it can be offered by trained therapists for people coping with traumatic experiences.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marissa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions over time, combining strategies as needed rather than relying on a single technique.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and easier access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to meet people where they are, accommodate different communication preferences, and maintain continuity of care across life transitions and busy schedules.
