04Online support
How CBT and online sessions fit your needs
Raquel uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that follow. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and stress because it focuses on practical steps and measurable progress.Her approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking how they work, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility that can make regular work on goals easier. Video calls let the therapist and client see one another for a full conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or keeping up momentum during a busy week.
These formats let people continue steady progress without long commutes, and they make it easier to schedule sessions around school, work, or caregiving duties. Raquel will help choose the right mix of formats to match how a person wants to work and what they need to accomplish.
