Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Many of Catalina's methods translate well to online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and stress by giving clear steps people can practice between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. Those techniques can be short and easy to use during a busy day. Narrative Therapy helps people tell and reframe the stories they live by, which can open up new options for relationships and parenting concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to identify which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative check-in happens early and can be revisited as goals change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a week by reducing travel and allowing shorter or mid-day check-ins. It also makes it possible to continue work with a licensed professional across distances, and to try exercises and tools at home between sessions to support gradual change.
