Online session options
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Estela draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from a problem and reauthor the stories they tell about their lives. This approach can be useful for shifting identity-related concerns, relationship patterns, and long-standing beliefs about self and others.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting connection so clients can find their own solutions. That method is helpful when someone needs support making decisions or coping with intense emotions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is part of her toolbox for addressing anxiety, mood challenges, and behaviors that interfere with daily life; it emphasizes practical experiments and small behavior changes to test new ways of thinking.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief updates, coaching-style guidance, or ongoing accountability between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
