Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Mariana commonly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship in which the person’s experience guides the pace and focus of sessions - this approach helps with self-esteem, motivation, and healing from relational wounds.

CBT is a practical, goal-oriented method that explores connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, and unhelpful coping patterns by teaching skills to reframe thinking and change routines. Trauma-focused therapy offers structured ways to process and integrate traumatic experiences while building skills to manage symptoms and reduce distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mariana works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists use these approaches flexibly, adapting techniques over time as goals evolve.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides practical benefits such as scheduling flexibility, easier access from home or work, and the ability to continue care across life transitions. These options make it simpler to maintain consistency in treatment and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
