How evidence-based techniques translate to online sessions
The therapist uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. Cognitive approaches help people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and beliefs that feed guilt, shame, anxiety, or low mood. These methods teach simple experiments and thought tools that can be practiced between sessions to reduce distress.Exposure-based or gradual facing methods can be used when anxiety or post-traumatic stress symptoms limit daily life. These approaches break problems into small steps so people can build tolerance and notice progress without overwhelming themselves.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Maria will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She checks in and adjusts the plan as needed rather than assuming one technique will suit everyone.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, avoid travel time, or meet when work or caregiving responsibilities limit availability. Therapists can adapt exercises for video or phone settings so work continues between sessions without needing in-person visits.
