How Roxana Uses Evidence-Informed Approaches Online

Roxana commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy centers the session on the person's experience, listening closely and following what the client finds most important.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation. These approaches help with intimacy issues, life transitions, caregiver strain, and work stress by offering concrete skills and clearer perspective.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roxana collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts tools and exercises as progress is made and as priorities change.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives and different comfort levels. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins and flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to use CBT skills and mindfulness practices between sessions and keep momentum toward goals.
