Approaches Like CBT and Supportive Care for Online Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills to manage anxiety, stress, and mood challenges. It is often used to address relationship stress, worry, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.
Maria also emphasizes a supportive, person-centered style that creates space for clients to explore feelings, losses, and life transitions. This approach focuses on validation, improving communication, and strengthening self-esteem while working toward meaningful personal goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Licensed professionals and therapists typically tailor techniques to each person, and Maria will work with clients to determine which combination of strategies best fits their needs, goals, and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for accessibility and flexibility. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow ongoing therapeutic contact even when in-person visits are not possible. These options support continuity of care and let clients choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
