Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your needs
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, behaviors, and emotions and helps people identify and modify patterns that contribute to distress. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges by teaching practical skills and new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and situations.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT-informed work can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and patterns of impulsive behavior, and it provides concrete tools to manage crises and improve coping.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and small, achievable steps that move a person toward their goals. It is often useful when clients want to build on what is already working and find practical strategies for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Perez and other licensed professionals work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexibility and access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it possible to schedule sessions around school, work, and family responsibilities, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for each client.
