Practical Approaches for Online Therapy and Lasting Change

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems that benefit from clear skills and structure. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance techniques that can reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation, useful for stress, grief, and ongoing emotional pain. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative conversation style that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation to make changes related to addiction, health behaviors, or commitment to goals.

Carolina works with these approaches flexibly and will collaborate with each person to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic method is part of the process, and she will adapt plans over time based on what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy or distant clients - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options increase scheduling flexibility and make it easier to maintain continuity of care across life changes and geographic boundaries, while licensed professionals guide treatment and progress.
