Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Sylvia uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a space where clients lead the conversation and their goals shape the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration, and it is helpful for people who want to explore personal values, improve self-understanding, or address relationship and family concerns.She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress or mood difficulties. CBT is often applied to anxiety, depression, coping with change, and building practical skills for day-to-day life.
Mindfulness-based techniques are used alongside these approaches to help clients develop awareness of present-moment experience and to manage stress, grief, and emotional reactivity. These practices can support emotion regulation and self-compassion without requiring major lifestyle changes.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Sylvia works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals tailor the plan over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with Sylvia can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make regular sessions more accessible and allow clients to receive consistent support from wherever they are.
