Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Belen Barragan draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current emotional patterns and interpersonal dynamics, which can be especially helpful for issues like attachment challenges, family conflict, and relationship stress. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a nonjudgmental, empathetic space where clients' priorities guide the work and personal strengths are emphasized to support change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is employed to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and develop practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and mood disorders.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Belen works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance aims to tailor interventions so they feel meaningful and effective for the individual.

Online therapy with Belen is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home, during busy days, or while managing childcare and work commitments, helping clients maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of location.
