Online support options
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Beatriz commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help manage stress and stay grounded during difficult moments.She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. These skills offer straightforward tools for handling strong feelings, improving communication, and reducing impulsive reactions. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone sessions can be a quicker check-in or fit limited bandwidth, and chat or text messaging supports shorter updates or ongoing coaching-style contact. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent despite work, family, or travel demands.
