Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Dr. Ana Cristina Atanes
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, avoidance patterns and living with ongoing challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathic relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead to foster self-understanding and personal growth - this approach supports issues like low self-esteem, life transitions and relational concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-compassion skills that aim to reduce reactivity to distressing thoughts and sensations and can support recovery from burnout, compassion fatigue, anxiety and chronic stress.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Atanes collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the approach as therapy unfolds so that the work feels relevant and practical.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or those living far from services. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and continue care consistently, allowing sessions to fit into everyday life while maintaining therapeutic depth and continuity.
