Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Marcela integrates approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy into her teletherapy practice to support emotional growth and practical change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values, accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and take committed action toward a meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, respect, and collaboration, creating space for clients to lead the pace and content of sessions while the therapist offers nonjudgmental support and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) may also be used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors when practical strategies are needed for symptoms like worry or insomnia.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Marcela emphasizes collaboration in that work. She discusses different methods with each person, assesses goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan so therapy fits the client rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility by allowing work by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access therapy from different locations, and maintain continuity of care during life changes, while still working with licensed professionals committed to therapeutic progress.
