How Elisandra Uses CBT and Mindfulness Online

Elisandra often combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and client-centered listening. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, panic, obsessions, and mood problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of the present moment, which can ease stress and chronic pain.

She treats finding the right approach as a team effort. Early sessions focus on understanding the person’s goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose and adjust methods so the work fits the person’s needs and preferences.
