Approaches that guide online work
Adriana uses evidence-based techniques alongside a person-centered way of working. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which can reduce anxious or low-mood patterns. Person-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own solutions to problems like family conflict or low self-worth.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. She will work with clients to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust plans over time based on what is most helpful. The aim is to find skills and ways of thinking that fit each person's life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and relationship building. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts in writing and fit therapy into busy schedules without needing to be on camera.
