Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Erika Torres
Erika Torres combines practical, goal-oriented methods to help clients make measurable progress. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying what is already working and building small, achievable steps toward change; it is useful for addressing relationship concerns, life transitions, and stressors that feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills to manage anxiety, mood challenges, and behavior patterns that interfere with daily life. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, nonconfrontational approach designed to strengthen a person’s own motivation for change and is often helpful for issues like addictions, ambivalence about life changes, and goal-setting.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Erika works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time based on progress and client feedback so therapy remains relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, continue work during transitions, and stay connected with licensed professionals and therapists from locations that suit the client.
