Therapy Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Meera Vasquez draws from several evidence-informed approaches that can work well in an online setting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It can help clients build practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, and low mood by noticing unhelpful patterns and trying new responses in daily life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes coping and emotional regulation skills, including tools for tolerating distress and improving relationships. It is often helpful for people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions or who want more steadiness during difficult times. Meera also incorporates mindfulness therapy, which supports clients in paying attention to the present moment with greater openness, helping them relate differently to worry, grief, or painful memories.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Meera works collaboratively with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and then adjusts the plan over time based on what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This variety can make it easier to stay consistent, fit sessions into a busy schedule, and get support in a format that feels most comfortable.
