Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Laura Tellez

Laura Tellez draws from several evidence-informed approaches to support clients remotely. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead - this approach helps with building self-awareness, improving self-esteem, and navigating relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers targeted strategies to address the impact of trauma and abuse, helping individuals process difficult memories and develop coping skills for emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Laura collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment matches what matters most to the client.

Online therapy with a licensed professional like Laura provides practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care when life gets in the way of in-person appointments.
