Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Stephanie Blanco draws from several well-established approaches to tailor care to each person. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on a respectful, nonjudgmental partnership where the therapist listens closely and helps the individual explore their own goals and strengths; this approach is useful for relationship challenges, life transitions, and building self-understanding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Psychodynamic Therapy explores patterns rooted in past experiences and relationships to increase insight and relieve long-standing emotional difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Stephanie works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible by offering flexible options for care. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to engage from home or on the go and to choose the format that best fits their schedule and communication style.
