Online support
How Julissa’s Approaches Work Online
Julissa uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people in simple, practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice hard feelings, clarify values, and take actions that fit what matters to them.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Julissa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose methods and adjust them over time so the work feels useful and manageable.
Online therapy is offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between meetings or have shorter, focused conversations. These options help fit therapy into busy days and make regular support more accessible.
