Virtual care and therapeutic methods
Julissa offers remote sessions that combine skills-based and relational approaches to address everyday struggles and deeper emotional patterns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to explore the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These approaches aim to provide practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and impulsive patterns.Alongside skills work, Julissa incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to examine relational patterns and core emotional responses. Client-Centered Therapy principles guide a collaborative stance so that the pace and focus of sessions reflect each person’s priorities and values. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used when the goal is to increase psychological flexibility and clarify personal values.
Remote appointments are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options is intended to fit different communication preferences and life circumstances while maintaining a consistent therapeutic plan.
