Practical approaches for online sessions
Ana commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns and test small behavioral changes. CBT sessions often involve identifying a specific worry or habit, trying a different response, and tracking what changed over time.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking meaningful actions even when uncomfortable feelings are present. Client-centered techniques are used to prioritize the person's own goals and pace, with motivational interviewing when people are weighing change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss which methods fit a person’s needs and goals and adjust the plan collaboratively. That means trying practical tools, reviewing how they worked, and shifting strategies if needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with her after completing the matching questionnaire to choose the session format that best fits daily routines and communication preferences.
