How her approaches work in online therapy

Estela uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive space where clients set the pace and bring the topics that matter most. This approach helps people feel heard and encourages self-directed change.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that get in the way. CBT focuses on small, practical changes that reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve daily functioning.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to boost motivation and resolve mixed feelings about change. It is helpful when people want to build momentum for new habits or tackle difficult decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust techniques over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy lets clients connect in flexible ways through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging works well for shorter reflections or when a written record helps track progress. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
