Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward what matters, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and motivation challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. This practical approach is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, self-esteem concerns, and coping with life changes.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so that the person feels heard and supported while exploring goals. This approach can be especially useful for building self-understanding, confidence, and stronger relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Santiago works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts recommendations as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing licensed professionals to meet clients where they are. These options make it easier to balance care with work, family, and travel, and they allow for consistent support even when schedules or locations change.
