Approaches Used in Online Therapy and What to Expect



Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach helps people gain clarity about their values, choices, and the personal changes they want to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is goal-oriented and practical - it helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches tools to shift those patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management. Existential therapy explores questions of meaning, purpose, and personal responsibility, supporting people navigating life transitions, grief, or feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Maricruz works with clients to identify which approach or combination of approaches aligns with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals often blend techniques to tailor care to each individual.

Online therapy with Maricruz can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from wherever a client is located in Texas, helping therapy fit into daily life while maintaining continuity of care.
