Approaches Mirinda Uses and Benefits of Online Care

Mirinda integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more constructive patterns - an approach often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and impulse control. Mindfulness Therapy is woven into sessions to cultivate present-moment awareness, reduce rumination, and build coping resources for ongoing stress and chronic health challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mirinda works with clients to explore what fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so the plan remains practical and personally meaningful.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations while preserving the therapeutic focus on skill-building, problem solving, and emotional support.
