Teletherapy approach and communication options
Delores combines client centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to online sessions. Using client centered principles, she prioritizes listening and meeting each person where they are, supporting self direction and collaboration. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to help identify thought and behavior patterns and to explore practical strategies for coping with stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.
Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are woven in to help people notice patterns and choose actions aligned with their values. Sessions may include problem solving, motivation work, and brief solution-focused steps when appropriate. This mix supports both reflective insight and concrete skills practice.
Delores offers remote appointments by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She frames online work as a shared process, adjusting pace and focus to fit each person’s goals and readiness to engage.
