Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Stephanie Diaz

Stephanie Diaz uses a mix of proven approaches to meet clients where they are and address a range of concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens and follows the client’s lead to help clarify values and goals - this approach is useful for relationship work, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical skills for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and acceptance, which can help with emotion regulation, trauma recovery, and everyday stress.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Stephanie works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in that process through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations, while still focusing on effective, goal-oriented care.
