How these approaches work in online sessions

Zoila (Mimi) Danta commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change actions that keep problems going; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on small, practical changes and immediate goals to build momentum toward what the client wants to see different. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Mimi works collaboratively to match techniques to a person’s goals, preferences, and daily routine. She adjusts pacing and tools as clients report what helps and what doesn’t, so therapy stays relevant and doable. Online formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or fit into a break with low bandwidth needs. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick updates, asking questions between appointments, or when writing helps organize thoughts. These options give flexibility while keeping the work focused on clear, practical steps people can use right away.
