Remote therapy options and approaches



Yuridia offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. She describes a collaborative process in which therapeutic methods are selected to match the presenting concern and the person’s preferred way of working. Communication options are used to support ongoing conversation and skills practice between sessions.

Her approach blends specific, skills-oriented methods with relational and attachment work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to explore how thoughts and behaviors interact, while Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes values and committed action. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes tools for emotion regulation and distress toleration. Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused Therapy inform work around relationship patterns and connection. Client-Centered Therapy underpins a respectful, person-led stance.

People who prefer a mix of idea-based strategies and relational exploration may find this combination appropriate. The format and pace are adjusted through the chosen remote modality so that the therapeutic work fits the individual’s needs and circumstances.
