Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Raquel commonly blends Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy means the conversation follows what matters most to the client and focuses on empathy, acceptance, and practical support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers tools to identify unhelpful thoughts, test new behaviors, and track small changes that improve mood and functioning.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods, adjust the plan, and pick tools that fit the client's daily life and challenges.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and a full conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or for people who prefer typing. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy days.
