CBT, Mindfulness, and Trauma-Focused Care Online

Vanessa Morales uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and mood instability. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve coping with stress and difficult emotions. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences so that related symptoms and daily challenges can be addressed.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Vanessa works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and together determine which strategies are the best fit. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time as progress or new concerns emerge.

Online therapy provides practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions offer an audio option, and live chat or text-based messaging support brief check-ins and ongoing communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, support caregivers, and maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists.
