Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online care
Dr. Mandracchia blends cognitive-behavioral work and mindfulness in most sessions. Cognitive-behavioral work focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety, depression, or impulsive reactions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower stress and increase emotional awareness.He also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to help people clarify goals and stay motivated. Choosing the right mix is collaborative - the therapist and client talk about what feels useful and then try practical steps together. That process helps tailor sessions to a person's needs, goals, and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions support guided exercises and face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can fit quick updates or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or school routines while still practicing the same therapeutic tools.
