Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Marina Escobar

Marina draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values, notice difficult thoughts without getting overwhelmed by them, and take meaningful action toward a more fulfilling life. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is effective for mood concerns, sleep difficulties, and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Marina works with each person to explore which methods align with their goals, preferences, and daily realities, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds so clients feel supported and heard.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access care from home or other convenient locations. These formats can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and engage in therapy in ways that suit individual comfort and communication styles.
