Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Angela Hernandez blends client-centered therapy with practical behavioral strategies to support change. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients can explore their values, goals, and personal strengths while feeling respected and heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify patterns of thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms and offers skills to shift unhelpful responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and effective interpersonal skills, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and self management challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Angela works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time as goals evolve and new information emerges.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, offering flexibility around work, family, and mobility needs. These options allow clients to maintain continuity of care and access licensed professionals from different locations while working toward their goals in a format that feels most comfortable.
