Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Sobremonte
Dr. Sobremonte uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the client's goals and values guide the work; this approach emphasizes empathy, respect, and partnership to address concerns such as relationship difficulties, caregiving stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, another core method in her practice, involves identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve coping and problem solving. Mindfulness therapy is used to build present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills, which can support management of emotional reactivity, grief, and chronic stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Sobremonte works with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting strategies over time in a collaborative way.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limitations, or family and work responsibilities. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals from different locations while tailoring the format to what works best for the client.
