Remote sessions rooted in practical, trauma-aware care
Magaly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and to develop concrete coping strategies. Sessions using CBT often include collaborative tracking of thoughts and behaviors and the introduction of evidence-based techniques aimed at improving emotional regulation and daily functioning.
Solution-Focused Therapy is used to orient sessions toward client-defined goals and small, achievable steps. This approach emphasizes strengths and existing resources, which can be especially helpful when someone wants focused, goal-directed work during remote sessions.
For those affected by traumatic experiences, Trauma-Focused Therapy and trauma-informed care guide the pace and content of work. Magaly blends stabilization skills, mindful practices, and DBT-informed techniques as appropriate to support safety and self-regulation. She works collaboratively with each person to determine priorities and methods that fit their life. Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different preferences and needs.
