How her approaches translate to online work

San Juanita uses a person-centered approach that focuses on listening closely and building a trusting relationship. This helps when the primary need is emotional support, managing anger, or improving self regard.

Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify the thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going. It involves practical exercises and short tasks to try between meetings, which can work well in remote sessions. Solution-focused therapy looks at strengths and next steps, helping people set small goals and test what works quickly.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest a mix of methods. If a technique doesn’t fit, adjustments are made so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, shorten check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. It also allows using practical tools and at-home exercises between sessions to support progress.
