Evidence-Informed Therapy, Designed for Online Support

Meera Vasquez draws from several well-established approaches to help clients work through concerns like stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be especially useful when worry, low mood, or self-criticism start to take over daily life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds practical skills for managing intense emotions, handling distress, and improving relationships. It can be a strong fit for people who feel easily overwhelmed or want more structure as they work on coping strategies. Meera also incorporates mindfulness-based tools, which emphasize present-moment awareness and can help clients slow down, reconnect with their values, and respond more intentionally to stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Meera collaborates with clients to identify what feels most helpful, adjusting the focus based on needs, goals, and preferences as therapy unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility without losing the human connection. Clients can meet with Meera through video calls or phone sessions, and can also use live chat or text-based messaging to stay engaged between sessions or when schedules are tight.
