Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Elisa Yamonaco integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration so the client feels understood and can guide the pace of change - it helps with self-esteem, motivation, and relationship concerns. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve day-to-day functioning. DBT teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for intense emotions, anger, and panic symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Elisa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve, treating therapy as a partnership rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can occur via video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and choose modalities that feel most helpful for each person.
