Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Marcela often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, life transitions, and patterns that interfere with daily living.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, a supportive, empathetic approach that prioritizes the individual's experience and fosters self-exploration, self-esteem, and improved relationships. In sessions grounded in this work, the therapist follows the client's lead and provides a compassionate presence.
Marcela incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT techniques are practical and goal-focused, often useful for symptoms of depression, anxiety, and coping with addictive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marcela collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She works alongside clients and licensed professionals as needed to tailor care in a collaborative way.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for scheduling, allows continuity of care across locations, and makes it easier to access regular support. Those options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain momentum between sessions.
