Flexible Online Therapy Informed by Evidence-Based Approaches
Christine Mendez draws from several well-established therapy models to support clients facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and relationship challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and everyday behaviors, then practicing practical strategies to respond in more balanced, effective ways. This approach can be especially useful when worry, low mood, or self-defeating habits start to take over daily life.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients make room for difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful steps forward. It can be a good fit for people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or pulled off course by stress or cravings. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where clients can explore what matters most and build on their existing strengths.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Christine works collaboratively with clients to tailor sessions around their goals, preferences, and what is most helpful in the moment.
Online therapy also offers practical flexibility. Clients can connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to get support in a way that fits busy schedules and day-to-day responsibilities.
