Remote therapy approach and access
Prisca combines structured skill work with an emphasis on the client as the expert of their story. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify patterns of thought and behavior and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms such as anxiety or mood fluctuations. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when emotions feel overwhelming.
Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques support exploration of personal meaning and mobilize immediate, goal-oriented change by highlighting strengths and past successes. Motivational Interviewing may be used to clarify values and strengthen commitment to change. These approaches are presented in a collaborative way so that people help shape priorities and pace of work.
Remote sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety of communication options allows people to choose the format that best suits their comfort and scheduling needs while working toward the goals they identify together.
