Therapeutic Approaches for Online Trauma Care

Viviana integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. ACT focuses on helping people clarify their values and take meaningful action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and emotions rather than getting stuck in them - this approach supports coping with ongoing stress and decisions that matter. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and trust, which can be especially useful for addressing intimacy issues, abandonment wounds, and family dynamics. CBT centers on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Viviana collaborates with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and combines techniques when that best serves the client's progress.

Online therapy with Viviana is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, geographical distance, or differing comfort levels with communication. These options make it easier for clients to access consistent support, continue work between sessions, and maintain momentum toward recovery while working with a licensed professional.
