Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Jessica Ortiz draws from several evidence-based approaches that can be effective in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, depression, and everyday challenges. It is often skills-oriented and can support practical change between sessions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences can shape current patterns in closeness, trust, and communication. This approach can be helpful for people working through relationship strain, family dynamics, or the lingering impact of past experiences, including trauma and major life transitions.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, non-judgmental relationship where clients can explore emotions, values, and goals at their own pace. It can be a good fit for building self-esteem, clarifying direction, and strengthening self-understanding.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jessica collaborates with clients to choose strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the focus over time as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a way that fits busy schedules and changing routines.
