Evidence-based tools, delivered online with flexibility
Charlene Esquilin draws from approaches that can translate well to online sessions while staying focused on each client’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients notice unhelpful thought patterns and practice more workable responses, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier communication, supporting clients who want steadier coping and fewer reactive cycles. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the work grounded in empathy and collaboration, making space for clients to explore what matters most and move forward at a pace that feels manageable.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Charlene works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped before, and adjust the focus over time so therapy remains aligned with each person’s needs and preferences.
Online therapy can make it easier to stay consistent with care. Clients can connect through video calls or phone sessions, and may also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility. This range of options can help clients fit support into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and choose a format that feels comfortable for the moment.
