Approaches that guide online sessions
Gabriela integrates cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. This approach focuses on changing specific thoughts and actions to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve day-to-day functioning.She also draws on humanistic principles that emphasize respect, validation, and each person's inherent value. That means sessions include active listening and a focus on what matters most to the individual. Mindfulness-based techniques are used to build attention and calm, often through short practices that can be tried between meetings.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Gabriela will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts methods over time based on what helps most for the challenges presented.
