Problem-Solving and Skills-Based Care for Online Therapy

Mirna uses a problem-solving approach that helps clients define specific concerns, generate practical options, and test strategies to manage stress, anxiety, or life transitions. This approach focuses on clear steps and achievable goals to create forward momentum.

She also applies evidence-based, skills-focused techniques that build coping strategies and improve communication - useful for managing mood difficulties, caregiver stress, and relationship challenges. These techniques help clients develop new habits and responses they can use in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mirna works together with each person to assess needs, set goals, and adjust methods so therapy fits individual preferences and circumstances.

Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility by allowing therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from wherever the client is located in California.
