Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Rose Perez integrates several practical therapies into her online practice to meet a variety of needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches people to identify and adjust unhelpful thought patterns and build concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and day-to-day stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals and values guide the work, which is helpful for building self-esteem, addressing identity concerns, and exploring life purpose. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, and can be especially useful for managing intense emotions and impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Rose works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time so care remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy with Rose uses flexible formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - to make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage mobility or health limitations, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not feasible. These options support consistent progress while allowing clients to choose how they connect in a way that feels most comfortable.
