Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life

Fabiola commonly uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and work through strong emotions that shape their relationships and daily reactions. EFT focuses on recognizing feelings, understanding how they drive behavior, and creating new ways to respond that feel safer and more connected.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which centers the client's experience and priorities. That approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and respect so clients can explore what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when unhelpful thoughts and behaviors need clearer steps to change, such as anxiety or low mood.

Finding the right combination is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. They will check in and adapt methods if something isn’t helping.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and preferences. Video is helpful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can work for quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
