Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Dr. Sofia Ferreira commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide her online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by combining acceptance strategies with committed action toward meaningful goals - it can be helpful for managing distress, motivation challenges, and persistent worries.

Dr. Ferreira approaches the choice of therapy collaboratively, working with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the plan remains aligned with progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility and accessibility: sessions can be scheduled as video calls or phone sessions, and shorter or more frequent check-ins can take place via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier for clients to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists even when in-person meetings are not possible.
