Background and approach
Sessions can include practical exercises, reflective conversation, and goal-setting that fit each person’s life. Her background includes long experience working with attachment and relationship challenges, issues from family of origin, and the transition periods that come with parenting and career change. She also supports people dealing with trauma, postpartum changes, sleep trouble, anger, and chronic shame or guilt.
Clinical methods she uses include attachment-based work, client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches to reshape unhelpful stories. Those tools are applied in ways that feel straightforward and relevant to day-to-day life. Dr.
Gonzalezreyna recommends a standing weekly appointment when possible and offers several session formats - video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. She asks for about 24 hours to respond to messages and schedules follow-up based on client needs and availability.
How her approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions. Online work can help people notice those patterns and practice new ways of connecting and regulating emotions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and supporting the client’s own goals; the therapist follows the client’s lead and offers empathy to help clarify choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety and improve sleep and mood.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their situation, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying a few techniques and adjusting over time so the work stays useful and manageable.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter connection is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain steady progress.
