Evidence-Based Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Cristina Perez uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice unhelpful thought patterns, understand how those thoughts affect emotions and actions, and practice more balanced ways of responding. CBT is often useful for concerns like anxiety, stress, low mood, self-esteem challenges, and daily overwhelm.She also integrates Trauma-Focused Therapy, which supports clients in exploring how past experiences may still shape present reactions, relationships, and coping strategies. This approach can be helpful for people working through trauma and abuse, as well as those dealing with heightened stress responses or emotional triggers.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cristina works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand preferences, and choose strategies that feel practical and supportive. Therapy can evolve over time as needs change, and licensed professionals can help guide that adjustment with intention.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule, continue care during life transitions, and choose the format that feels most comfortable from week to week.
