Online support
How Angelica’s approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and change patterns in how they relate emotionally. In sessions, this looks like naming feelings, tracking interaction cycles, and practicing new ways of responding to foster closeness and safety. It is often used for relationship and intimacy-related concerns but also helps individuals understand attachment and abandonment wounds.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and pace. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and supports clients in finding their own solutions. This style is useful when someone needs acceptance, space to process, and encouragement to follow their values.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different actions. It offers concrete tools for anxiety, panic attacks, and mood challenges, such as behavioral activation and thought records to test assumptions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Angelica works together with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts sessions over time as progress and priorities change.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets the client and therapist read facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone or chat can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Text-based messaging supports ongoing skill practice and quick reflections between sessions. These formats make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
