How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The therapist reflects concerns and priorities back so the client feels heard and can clarify what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems and introduces practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and acting. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations, which can reduce reactivity and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Marizol will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then recommend methods to try. Clients and therapist adjust the plan over time based on what is useful and realistic for daily life.
