Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, or depressive symptoms and teaching practical skills to shift those patterns. This approach is useful for mood difficulties, anxiety, and many everyday coping challenges. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, client-centered method that helps people explore their own reasons for change and strengthen their motivation when facing ambivalence. It is often helpful for addiction-related concerns and when making significant life changes. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes building small, achievable steps toward specific goals, helping people move forward by leveraging strengths and past successes.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sofia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made. The aim is to tailor care so it feels useful and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home or other convenient locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
