Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Amarilis Colon Berrios uses several evidence-based approaches to support clients in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and develop psychological flexibility so they can act in ways that matter to them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to build practical coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship in which the therapist listens carefully and helps clients explore their own solutions and strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Amarilis works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time in partnership with the client. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques to tailor care to an individual’s situation.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. These formats allow ongoing support from a licensed professional without the need to travel, helping people access consistent care in a way that fits their daily routines.
