Approaches That Guide Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the individual’s values and experiences drive the work. This approach helps people clarify their goals, strengthen self-understanding, and build confidence in making changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and interpersonal problems. It is practical and skill-based, offering tools to manage emotions and improve daily functioning.

The Gottman Method is used when relationship dynamics are a central concern. It combines assessment and structured interventions to improve communication, reduce conflict, and rebuild connection between partners.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ana collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online work offers flexibility in how people meet with a licensed professional. Video calls and phone sessions allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, more frequent check-ins and support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
