Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Jazmín draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a collaborative, respectful relationship and helps people explore their values and strengths to guide change. CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills that can reduce reactivity and support emotional balance, particularly after trauma or during periods of high stress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jazmín works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their goals, preferences, and cultural background. She adapts interventions over time to match progress and evolving needs.
Online therapy with Jazmín is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible access to licensed professionals. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments, and allow continuity of care for people with mobility, transportation, or geographic limitations.
