Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Gabriela Loera integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and collaboration - it helps people feel heard as they explore values, relationships, and personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a practical, skills-based approach that helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop alternative behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Gabriela works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access to consistent care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, stay connected during life transitions, and maintain momentum between meetings. Gabriela and other licensed professionals use these formats to provide structured, goal-oriented support that adapts to each client’s life and pace.
