Online therapy approach
Alejandra provides remote sessions that combine Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is described in plain terms as a way to clarify personal values and practice mindful action in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a collaborative relationship to support emotional exploration.
These approaches are offered together so that sessions can include practical skills training, values-based planning, and reflective space for understanding how past experiences shape current responses. The therapist works alongside each person to set goals, try strategies in daily life, and adjust the plan as needed.
Teletherapy is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Alejandra accepts clients from outside the United States and conducts remote work that accommodates those communication options.
