How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Alejandra often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-focused, and it can help with anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes.She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which supports people in clarifying what matters to them and taking action even when uncomfortable feelings are present. ACT can be useful for chronic worry, stress, and problems that persist despite effort.
Choosing the right method is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches in session, and adjust plans based on what feels helpful. This collaborative process helps match techniques to each person's needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face work on skills and relationship patterns, phone sessions can fit into busy schedules or use less bandwidth, live chat is useful for written check-ins, and messaging supports shorter or ongoing check-ins between appointments. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
