Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's own goals and experiences, offering empathic listening and support while the client leads the pace of change. This approach is helpful for people working through relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies and shifts unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and skill-building; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep difficulties. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and grounding practices that can reduce emotional reactivity and support coping with trauma, anxiety, and stress-related symptoms.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nereida Martinez works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques from different models to create a personalized plan.



Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to connect from home or other convenient locations. These formats can make scheduling easier, support continuity of care through life changes, and provide multiple ways to communicate with licensed professionals and therapists based on comfort and accessibility.
