How online therapy blends evidence-based approaches and flexibility

Sanjuana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, phobias, and many daily stressors because it focuses on concrete steps you can practice between sessions.

She also brings Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into work with clients. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to actions that reflect those values, which can be helpful for grief, chronic worry, and motivation struggles. Client-centered techniques guide conversations so the therapist follows the person's pace and priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods based on what feels most helpful. This collaborative planning helps match skills training, values work, or reflective talk to the individual's needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and do interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat and text are useful for short check-ins, ongoing support, and practicing skills between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of working.
