Background and approach
Conversations are practical and goal-focused, with steps the client can try between meetings. Dr. Pulido uses a mix of evidence-based approaches to fit each person’s needs.
She draws from cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness practices, and acceptance strategies to address anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms. She also integrates attachment-focused work when relationship or family of origin issues come up. People working with substance use or addictive behaviors can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental process that looks at motivations and barriers to change.
Career stress, sleep trouble, anger, and self-esteem concerns are also common topics in her sessions. She offers help in both English and Spanish and works with adults facing life transitions, grief, or mood disorders. Dr.
Pulido encourages a collaborative pace so clients can make changes that feel realistic for their lives.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Pulido commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches skills for change, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Mindfulness therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and bodily sensations without judging them, and that can reduce reactivity to stress and improve emotional regulation.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take actions that match those values even when difficult feelings arise. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together - she will help you decide what methods fit your goals, needs, and preferences rather than prescribing one path from the start.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and exercises, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and text or chat can support brief check-ins or coaching-style interactions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent momentum between meetings.
