Remote therapy and therapeutic approach
Diana integrates client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to create a collaborative online process. In a client-centered framework she focuses on the client perspective and strengths, allowing the client to guide the topics and pace. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify thought and behavior patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms. Mindfulness practices support present-moment awareness and stress management.
She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy and narrative therapy when addressing relationship dynamics or the stories that shape a person’s sense of self. Motivational interviewing can be included to clarify goals and increase readiness for change. Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their needs. This mix of approaches may suit clients seeking both reflective exploration and skill-based strategies in a remote format.
