How Yomaris works
ADHD, body image, chronic illness, and codependency are additional areas she addresses. Yomaris blends several approaches to match each person's needs.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and still act on what matters to them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it often helps with anxiety, mood difficulties, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person sets the pace and the therapist follows their lead to build insight and confidence.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works with each person to figure out what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision may combine elements from several approaches to match the problem at hand.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited; live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
