Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual's goals and strengths, creating a supportive space where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client's pace. This approach is helpful for people who want to explore their values, build self-understanding, and gain confidence in their decision-making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns. It is often used when clients want concrete strategies to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. The Gottman Method is an evidence-informed approach for couples that emphasizes improved communication, conflict management, and rebuilding connection - useful for partners working on intimacy-related issues and relationship repair.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Sylvia works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She blends listening, skill-building, and exploration to tailor treatment rather than offering a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, address issues in real time, and access support from home or while traveling, all while working with therapists who can adapt methods to an online format.
