Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action. It supports coping with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by focusing on what matters most to the individual.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, skills-focused approach that identifies and changes unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns, offering specific tools for managing symptoms and building healthier routines.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method designed to reduce the intensity of disturbing memories and related symptoms. It can be helpful for people processing past traumatic events and symptoms of trauma and abuse.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Dr. Colon Berrios collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access care around work, family, and other commitments. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent, ongoing support even when in-person visits are not feasible.
