Therapeutic methods and flexible online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. It is practical and skill-based, often used for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep difficulties. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, person-centered approach that helps strengthen motivation for change by exploring a client’s values and ambivalence; it is useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about moving forward. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on goals and existing strengths, emphasizing small, concrete steps that lead to measurable improvements and is helpful for people seeking short-term, goal-oriented support.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Yelitza collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines these approaches in a way that aligns with what the client wants to accomplish and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care through life changes, reduce travel time, and provide access to licensed professionals from a range of locations, while supporting consistent progress toward therapy goals.
