Approaches for Couples, Families, and Online Care

Dr. Ana-Rocío Escobar-Chew draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where clients set the pace and goals of their work. This approach helps people clarify their values and strengths and is useful for a wide range of issues from anxiety to life transitions.

She also integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), a method that focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses within relationships. EFT is often used with couples and families to improve attachment, communication, and emotional connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Escobar-Chew works collaboratively with each person or family to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone, and options for live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit care into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These formats support ongoing therapeutic work while accommodating scheduling and accessibility needs.
