Therapeutic approaches and online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is practical and skills-focused, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness so clients can manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental acceptance of thoughts and feelings, which can reduce reactivity and support overall emotional balance.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Carmen works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors techniques from these methods to create a treatment plan that fits the individual. The client’s experience and feedback guide adjustments over time.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage in that collaboration. Carmen provides live phone and live video sessions and is comfortable with messaging, though she does not offer live chat. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, fit therapy into a busy schedule, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
