Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Gloria Sanchez, LCSW, draws from approaches that can be especially helpful in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can support clients dealing with stress, anxiety, self-esteem concerns, and everyday coping challenges.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured method often used to work through the impact of trauma and distressing memories. EMDR helps clients process experiences in a guided way, with attention to pacing and readiness. Attachment-Based Therapy may also be part of the work, exploring how early relationships can shape current emotions, boundaries, and connection in relationships and family life.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gloria works collaboratively with clients to understand what they want to change, what feels most important right now, and what style of therapy fits their preferences and comfort level.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility, making it easier to get support in a format that matches your schedule and energy. Clients can meet with Gloria through video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions.
