How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. Gina Gonzalezreyna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies for changing mood and behavior; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which focuses on relationship patterns and emotional bonds to address issues like attachment difficulties, abandonment concerns, and relationship distress. Finally, her client-centered stance prioritizes the client's perspective and personal strengths, creating a collaborative space to explore goals and values.

Finding the right approach is part of the work, and she collaborates with clients to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess progress and adjust techniques so the therapy fits the person rather than expecting the person to fit a single method.

Online therapy with her offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to maintain regular weekly appointments and integrate sessions into busy schedules. These formats allow consistent contact, practical exercises between sessions, and options for people who prefer different ways of communicating with a licensed professional.
