Online approaches that guide change and coping

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small actions that matter, even when emotions are intense. ACT is useful for worry, low mood, and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic or anxiety. CBT gives concrete tools to try between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses empathetic listening to support self-awareness and self-compassion.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Cristina will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She uses feedback and discussion to adjust the plan over time so it fits how a person responds and what they want to achieve.

Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people use mindfulness practices and skill-building exercises in real-life settings between meetings, which can help carry progress into everyday routines.
