Practical approaches for online therapy and skill building

Marisol integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping strategies. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting clients who struggle with intense emotions or relationship challenges.

She also uses a client-centered stance, which means therapy is collaborative and tailored to each person's goals and preferences. Determining the right mix of methods is part of the process, and the therapist will work with clients to adjust techniques based on what helps most for their situation and objectives.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different needs and schedules. These formats can make it easier to access consistent support, practice new skills between sessions, and fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.
