How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and how they translate online
Consuelo draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills. One common approach she uses is skills-based work that teaches emotion regulation and clearer communication. This involves practicing simple techniques to manage strong feelings and to express needs more directly, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and family tension.Another element of her work is structured problem-solving and behavioral strategies to address mood and daily routines. This means identifying small, manageable changes to habits and testing those changes between sessions to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.
Choosing which approaches to use is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their life and preferences. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.
The practical advantages of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time, which can make it easier to keep regular appointments.
