Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Bethsaida Rivera incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into her online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can be helpful for intense emotions, anger, and coping after trauma.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Rivera works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around work, family, and other commitments, and allow individuals to receive consistent support from licensed professionals in a way that fits their lifestyle.
