Therapeutic Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Barbara Castro draws from well-established methods that can be effective in an online setting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, respectful space where clients can explore what they feel and need, at their own pace. This approach can be especially helpful when stress, grief, relationship strain, or life transitions feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. It often helps clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday coping challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds structured tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, supporting clients who want steadier reactions during high-stress moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Barbara collaborates with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and current challenges, then adjusts the work to fit what is most helpful and sustainable.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to get support consistently, keep momentum between sessions, and choose a format that matches comfort level and day-to-day demands.
