Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Erika Garcia integrates evidence informed methods to address a range of concerns in remote sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify values and concrete actions that lead to a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new skills to change emotional and behavioral responses, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and problems with concentration. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers tools to process and reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic events while building safety and coping strategies for daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Erika works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review options, try techniques, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Erika is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care amid busy schedules, geographic constraints, or mobility limitations while still receiving support from a licensed professional.
