Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Yashira Valdez uses a combination of evidence-informed approaches tailored to each person she works with. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is often used to address anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, which can support coping with difficult emotions and improving emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing focuses on exploring a person’s own motivations to strengthen commitment to change and can be especially helpful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about taking steps forward.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Yashira collaborates with each client to determine what will work best based on their goals, values, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time so care remains responsive to changing needs.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls and phone sessions enable face-to-face conversation from home, while live chat and text-based messaging add flexibility for short check-ins or when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to fit consistent support into daily life and to maintain continuity of care across different circumstances.
