Practical approaches for online counseling
Daniela uses client-centered work to place the person's experience at the heart of each session. That means she listens to your goals, reflects what she hears, and helps you notice strengths you already have. Mindfulness techniques are taught in simple steps to reduce reactivity and bring attention back to the present moment; these are useful for anxiety, stress, and moments of overwhelm.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to set small, achievable goals and build forward momentum. These approaches focus on what changes would help most and on practical next steps you can try between sessions. Daniela will work with each person to choose or combine approaches that fit their needs and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a lunch break or low-bandwidth situations, and chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on your goals and weekly progress.
