Remote therapy options and approach
Dr. Miller-Munoz offers remote sessions that use a collaborative, client-centered stance. She adapts standard practices to phone or video conversations and to text-based formats such as live chat and messaging, maintaining an emphasis on listening and working from the client’s perspective. Sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging depending on the person’s needs.
She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify thought and behavior patterns and to develop practical coping strategies. She also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to explore how emotions shape relationship dynamics and to help partners and family members address attachment-related interactions. Mindfulness techniques are available to support present-moment awareness and regulation of stress and physical sensations.
People who value a collaborative, exploratory process that combines reflective listening with goal-oriented tools often find this blend of approaches a good fit. Remote formats are used to meet clients where they are, with options for synchronous discussion by video or phone and for shorter, ongoing contact through live chat and text-based messaging.
