Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Gladys commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear, practical exercises that help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and eating patterns. Mindfulness practice helps reduce reactivity and increase awareness of thoughts and feelings so people can respond more calmly instead of reacting impulsively.She also uses strength-based techniques that highlight a person's existing resources and past successes. That approach helps people build confidence and identify steps that fit their life. Determining which mix of approaches to use is part of the work; she collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and daily realities.
