Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy

Krissel Montano draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to support clients in online settings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and improve daily coping. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention practices that can ease emotional reactivity, support stress management, and assist those dealing with persistent difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Krissel collaborates with each client to determine which methods align best with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process mirrors how many licensed professionals tailor care to individual needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - appointments by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. These options allow clients to continue consistent work on goals while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
