Background and approach
Jessenia encourages people to try strategies in between meetings so progress is steady and tangible. Her work draws on tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and solution-focused methods.

04Online support
Online tools and therapy approaches that help
Jessenia uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new, healthier ways of thinking and behaving. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives clear exercises to try between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping under pressure; it can help when mood swings or intense feelings get in the way of daily life.She also uses solution-focused therapy to set short-term, concrete goals and track progress. Choosing the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest a plan that can be adjusted along the way.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face when that feels helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging make quick check-ins or brief skill practice possible between visits. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit changing schedules and day-to-day demands.
