How therapy approaches work online

Rafaela uses client-centered work to focus on each person's story and values. That means sessions begin with listening so goals reflect what matters most to the client. This approach helps when people need a respectful space to sort feelings and priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more balanced thinking. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues and many daily habits because it leads to specific actions to try between sessions.

Solution-focused Therapy zeroes in on small, practical changes that create momentum. Sessions often set one or two manageable goals and track progress, which can feel encouraging and time efficient.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rafaela collaborates with each person to decide which methods to try first and adjusts based on what helps. The plan is flexible and centered on the client's goals and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a work break. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins or writing through feelings when speaking is hard. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when schedules change.
