How her approaches translate to online therapy

Marcela uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and the problems they face. Narrative work helps separate a person from their difficulties so they can try new ways of living and relating.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to teach skills for accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match values. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy is another influence - this means she listens without judgement, follows the client's lead, and supports self-directed growth.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Marcela will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and try methods that fit. She adjusts techniques over time based on what is helpful and what the client wants to work on.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversations and when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or during a short break at work. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, coaching, or ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
