Therapeutic approaches and online support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, centers on skills for regulating intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress, which can benefit people facing relationship challenges or strong emotional reactions. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process and make sense of traumatic experiences so they can reduce the hold those memories have on daily life and improve overall coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Nancy Valdes works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review options, try techniques, and adjust direction as progress unfolds.
Offering sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, online therapy provides flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity when travel or responsibilities interfere with in-person visits, and receive support in ways that feel most comfortable for each person. Licensed professionals can adapt their therapeutic tools to work effectively across these remote options.
