Therapeutic Approaches and Virtual Care
Yolanda draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to tailor care to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s priorities guide the work and personal insights lead change. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. DBT teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, making it valuable for clients dealing with intense emotions, trauma reactions, or chronic stress.Finding the right approach is part of the clinical process, and Yolanda collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. Together they monitor progress and adjust strategies to ensure the work feels relevant and effective.
Online therapy provides flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and practice skills between sessions with ongoing support from a therapist.
