Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Estela integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space in which the client’s goals and values shape the direction of care - it is useful for building self-awareness, strengthening relationships, and supporting personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it effective for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress-related difficulties. She also draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help couples and families understand and shift patterns of emotional response that affect closeness and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Estela works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions so clients feel supported while learning skills and exploring change.

Online therapy with Estela can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access licensed professionals from a convenient location.
