Attachment, CBT, and Mindfulness Approaches for Online Care

Ana Maria commonly integrates attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques into her practice. Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationships shape present-day patterns and helps people address abandonment, trust, and relational wounds in order to build more secure connections. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a practical, skills-based approach that identifies and shifts unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and stress-reduction practices that can help with overwhelming emotions, rumination, and coping during life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ana Maria collaborates with each person to select methods that fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She adapts techniques over time as needs change, working with clients to evaluate what is most effective for them.

Online therapy offers flexible access to these approaches 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 transitions, and receive consistent support from licensed professionals in ways that work best for each individual.
