Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early relational patterns shape present-day connections. It helps people explore attachment needs, reduce fear of abandonment, and build more secure ways of relating to partners and loved ones. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client as the expert in their own life and relies on empathy, acceptance, and active listening to foster self-awareness and personal growth - it is often helpful for issues like low self-esteem and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Teresa Velazquez Navarro works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines elements from different models as appropriate and invites clients to give feedback so the plan evolves with their progress.

Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility can help people fit regular sessions into busy schedules, stay connected during life transitions, and maintain continuity of care across distance. Licensed professionals can deliver meaningful, goal-oriented work through these formats while adapting to each person's comfort and pace.
