Background and approach

She also brings attention to needs related to intellectual disability and self-harm when relevant. In sessions she starts by listening to a person’s story and identifying strengths. Then she and the client agree on small, achievable steps.

Therapy can include learning new coping skills, practicing communication, and changing unhelpful thoughts. Her methods draw on approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, and skills-based strategies. She blends techniques to match what each family or individual finds useful.

Consuella emphasizes collaboration and steady progress. She works to create a clear plan and supports clients as they try different options. This is practical help for parents and families seeking steadier routines and better ways to cope.

Approaches that translate well to online family work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgment. It helps parents and family members feel heard and build on their strengths to solve problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, intense emotions, and relationship patterns. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the family or individual about goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Over time they will adjust the approach based on what helps most. Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families. Video calls let people see each other and practice communication skills together. Phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging provide shorter, more frequent check-ins or a way to work when schedules are tight. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing daily responsibilities.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
