Using evidence-based techniques in online therapy
Maribel draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work in clear, practical ways. One common approach she uses focuses on building skills for managing anxiety and stress through step-by-step strategies and breathing or grounding practices to reduce overwhelm. Another area of focus addresses trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping people make sense of distressing experiences, increase safety in daily routines, and practice coping tools that reduce reactivity.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Over time they check what helps and adjust plans so the work stays relevant and useful.
