Online support

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Existential Therapy looks at meaning and choice in a person's life. It helps when someone is facing big life questions, feeling stuck, or coping with loss of direction. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and respect, giving people space to speak and be heard while the therapist follows their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical steps to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Ferreira will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She uses a collaborative process to blend listening, reflective questions, and actionable tools so the approach fits the individual's needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see facial cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, reflection between sessions, or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into a busy life.
