Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Beatriz commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing alongside narrative techniques. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change patterns that increase anxiety or stress. Motivational interviewing focuses on what matters to the client and builds the willingness to try new behaviors by exploring goals and ambivalence. Narrative therapy pays attention to the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe those stories to open up new possibilities.Choosing a method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they try approaches, check progress, and adjust plans so the work feels relevant and usable in daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be a simpler way to stay connected when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or people who prefer typed communication. These options make scheduling easier and let therapy fit into busy days.
