Practical approaches for online care

Raquel combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered work, and mindfulness in online sessions. CBT helps people identify and test thoughts that lead to anxiety or low mood, then practice different behaviors to see what changes. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building trust so the person can set their own pace and goals. Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. Raquel will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. She adapts approaches over time so sessions fit the client's needs and progress remains practical and measurable.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill practice, while phone sessions can be easier during a busy day or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can fit brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or timely reflections between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and use therapy in everyday life.
