Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Rosie Pescador draws on several established approaches to tailor care to each client’s needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a collaborative, empathetic relationship where the client’s goals guide the work; it is useful for improving self-awareness, relationships, and life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and modify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. Trauma-Focused approaches address the impact of traumatic experiences by teaching coping skills, processing trauma responses, and restoring a sense of safety and agency.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rosie works collaboratively with clients to assess their concerns, goals, and preferences and then recommends or combines methods that best fit the situation. This partnership helps shape a personalized plan that evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling, reduces travel time, and expands access to consistent care. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, psychoeducation, and skill-building interventions to these formats, giving clients practical options to engage in therapy in ways that match their comfort and daily life.
