Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Care

Dr. Margarita Lopez integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and seeing the person as the expert of their own life - it helps people clarify values, build confidence, and find their own solutions to challenges. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, stress, and addictive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Lopez works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals often combine elements of different approaches, and she will tailor recommendations while inviting client feedback throughout treatment.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments and support ongoing access to care from different locations. For many people, remote sessions provide a practical and effective way to work toward greater emotional balance and improved daily functioning.
