How practical therapy methods translate online

Dr. Perez uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centered techniques to guide online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and daily stress. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and supporting the client's own goals to help rebuild confidence and emotional balance.

She also integrates mindfulness and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach grounding, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance skills. These approaches help with overwhelm, anger, compassion fatigue, and relationship stress by building clear skills and practiceable steps.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review concerns and goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan together so it fits each person's needs and preferences. Clients help shape which tools are used and how progress is measured.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and structured exercises. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can keep progress moving between sessions and suit people who prefer written exchanges. These formats increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
