Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Dr. Rodriguez often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep anxiety and depression active; it is useful for social anxiety, worry, and mood problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and make sense of strong feelings, which can improve how they relate to others and how they respond to loss or trauma.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose strategies to try. Techniques can be adjusted over time based on what feels most helpful and what fits a person's life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people practice skills in real time while seeing the therapist. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief coaching, tracking progress between sessions, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a daily routine.
