BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Silvia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT involves identifying patterns, trying small behavior changes, and practicing new skills to reduce anxiety and low mood.She also uses brief, solution-focused methods that concentrate on what is already working and on small steps toward specific goals. These techniques are practical for people who want progress in a few focused sessions. Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to help clarify a person's goals and strengthen their commitment to those goals.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Silvia works with each person to match techniques to their needs and preferences, adjusting the plan as things change. The work is guided by what the client wants to accomplish and what feels doable week to week.
