Online support

How her methods translate to online care

Socorro uses client-centered work to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities and values. That approach means the conversation is tailored to what matters most to the client and moves at their pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. Socorro collaborates with each person to decide which techniques to try based on their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls allow more face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a quieter, less visual check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum between meetings.
