Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Linda Gonzalez draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness therapy, and motivational interviewing to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for concerns like anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and awareness practices that can help with emotional regulation and stress management by encouraging present-moment noticing without judgment. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach aimed at resolving ambivalence and strengthening a person's own motivation for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Linda works collaboratively with each client to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so therapy remains useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy life. These options allow clients to connect with licensed professionals from home, on the go, or from other convenient locations while maintaining continuity of support and the ability to practice skills between sessions.
