How therapeutic approaches guide virtual work
Carolina draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and transpersonal-informed practices. Evidence-based techniques focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, practicing new coping skills, and changing behaviors that maintain distress. These approaches are useful for stress, anxiety, social phobia, and mood concerns.Transpersonal-informed practices attend to broader meaning and life purpose. This can involve reflective exercises about values, integrating emotional and bodily experience, and exploring sources of personal meaning. That work can help people who are navigating life transitions, questions about identity, or the emotional impacts of pregnancy and childbirth.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Carolina will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the balance of skills work and reflective exploration as sessions progress.
