Background and approach
Catalina believes emotional difficulty can lead to growth. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and offers nonjudgmental support. Together she and a client look for small, useful changes that can be used right away.
Therapy is tailored to each person. Catalina draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Narrative, and Solution-Focused approaches to match what an individual needs. She pays attention to family and blended-family dynamics, body image concerns, caregiver stress, and communication problems.
Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and international clients are accepted. Catalina explains processes in plain language and helps people set practical goals they can try between meetings.
Approaches that fit real life, delivered online
Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. It can reduce reactivity to stress and support better focus during busy or emotional times. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes in behavior. It is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and upsetting thoughts by using practical steps and exercises.Finding the right approach is a team effort. Catalina works with each person to see whether mindfulness, CBT, or narrative techniques best match their goals and daily routines. She encourages clients to try methods and give feedback so the plan can be adjusted to fit their needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are a close substitute for in-person meetings and allow visual cues for deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people reach out between meetings and fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to attend consistently and maintain progress while juggling work, caregiving, or travel.
