Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Yolanda blends Client-Centered Therapy with cognitive behavioral ideas to shape online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences, offering empathic listening and support so clients can decide the changes they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with mood, low self-esteem, and coping after loss.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens together. She will listen to a client's needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. Clients and therapist review progress and adjust the plan as they go, keeping the work collaborative and focused on real goals.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit day-to-day life. Video is useful for deeper conversation and teaching exercises, phone works well when bandwidth or cameras are limited, live chat is handy for brief check-ins, and messaging lets clients share thoughts between sessions. These options increase flexibility and help people keep therapy consistent with work, caregiving, and other demands.
