How Guadalupe’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their values and take small steps toward them even when feelings are hard. It can be useful for depression, grief, and lingering patterns from trauma. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on practical exercises and tests of unhelpful thoughts so people can change behaviors that cause distress. This approach often helps with addictions and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Guadalupe will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. That collaboration makes it easier to adjust techniques if something doesn’t feel helpful.
