Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation and coping skills. DBT tools help when emotions feel overwhelming or when someone needs steadier ways to handle stress and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cecilia will listen to your goals and try approaches that match your needs. She will adjust the plan over time, using your feedback to choose skills and exercises that feel useful and doable.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and offering flexibility for scheduling. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions at times that work around work or caregiving. Talk with the therapist about what will fit your routine and goals so sessions can be arranged in a practical way.
