How her approaches are used in online sessions
Online sessions with Magaly draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to address thoughts, feelings, and past traumatic experiences. CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on reducing the ongoing impact of traumatic events and building coping strategies for triggers and stressors. She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what seems most helpful, then try techniques and adjust based on how those methods land in session. Confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking, since formats are not listed in the biography. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many clients find remote sessions help them use therapy around work, school, and caregiving responsibilities while keeping a regular schedule.Sheet 3
