How Xochitl works
In the room she uses clear, evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used for people wanting relief from traumatic memories.
Xochitl combines those methods with attention to how past relationships shape current feelings. She encourages self-compassion and practical steps that build resilience. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
Her background includes four years of clinical practice as an LCSW in New Mexico. That experience has included working with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and issues like codependency and control struggles. She aims to help people reconnect with their values and regain a sense of purpose.

How CBT and EMDR work in online therapy
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change mood and reactions. In online sessions a therapist guides you through exercises, thought records, and behavioral experiments that you can use between meetings to reduce anxiety and lift mood.EMDR helps people process distressing memories that continue to cause strong reactions. Online EMDR involves guided eye movements or similar bilateral stimulation while you recall the memory, paired with coaching from the therapist to step through the process safely. It is often used for trauma and post-traumatic stress.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk about goals, explain options, and try methods that fit the person’s history and comfort level. Adjustments are made over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face for in-depth sessions. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or camera use is tired. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, shorter notes between sessions, or a way to follow up after a session. Together these options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
