Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Maria integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, empathetic relationship that helps clients explore their feelings and priorities in a nonjudgmental way - it is often useful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. CBT is a practical, skills-based approach that identifies unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaches strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions, anger, and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Maria works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting plans as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers practical advantages for many people. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients gain flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from home or elsewhere, and maintain continuity with a licensed professional even when in-person visits are difficult. These options support ongoing work on stress, trauma recovery, family and relationship issues, and coping with life changes.
