Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT invites clients to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then to identify personal values and take small, value-guided actions; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, life transitions, and feelings of emptiness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, offering practical strategies to challenge unhelpful patterns and develop new coping skills; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to bodily and mental experiences, which can help reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Celestina works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to what works best for each person.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, by phone, through live chat, or with text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into a busy life, to maintain continuity during transitions, and to connect when in-person appointments are impractical. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured, evidence-informed work while accommodating individual schedules and circumstances.
