Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Sessions

Alba uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill building to manage stress, anxiety, and mood symptoms. These approaches teach tools for coping with difficult emotions, improving daily functioning, and increasing resilience in the face of life changes.

She also works with relationship and attachment patterns, helping people improve communication, set boundaries, and address dynamics that affect intimacy and connection. This work often explores recurring patterns and supports clients in developing healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alba will work with each person to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs, then tailor techniques that fit their situation and evolve the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, and daily routines while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals, making it easier to engage in consistent therapeutic work.
