04Online support
How Dolores’ Approach Translates to Online Therapy
Dolores integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into online sessions. ACT helps people identify what matters most to them and take small, values-driven steps. CBT focuses on noticing thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.She treats the choice of method as collaborative. During early sessions she will talk with clients about their goals, try a few techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. Finding the right fit is an ongoing process and she works together with each person to shape it.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat or messaging are useful for short check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people access therapy from different locations and routines.
