What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the first session, we will focus on introducing ourselves in a more informal manner and discussing the expectations and main focus that the client wishes to address. The therapeutic process is centered around the client, so my priority is to listen to what concerns them or what they want to improve. Durante la primera sesión, nos enfocaremos en presentarnos de una manera más informal y hablaremos de las expectativas y el principal enfoque que el cliente desea atender. El proceso terapéutico se trata sobre el cliente, así que mi prioridad es escuchar lo que le inquieta o desea mejorar.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Building connections with people is one of my greatest strengths. If the client does not develop a relationship of trust, respect, and mutual understanding with the therapist, the process can become more challenging. Listening to and validating the client's perspectives is crucial in my practice, and I believe this is one of my key strengths. Conectar con las personas es una de mis mayores destrezas. Si el cliente no establece una relación de confianza, respeto e identificación con el terapeuta, el proceso tiende a ser más difícil de lo ideal. Escuchar y validar lo que el cliente tiene que decir es sumamente importante en mi práctica, y entiendo que es una de mis mayores virtudes.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
As a clinical social worker at a psychiatric hospital, I provided therapy to patients using Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I conducted one-on-one sessions with patients to help them identify and address their unique challenges. These sessions focused on enhancing their motivation and applying DBT skills to real-life situations.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In individual therapy sessions, I worked with patients to identify and challenge distorted or unhelpful thoughts. We used techniques such as cognitive restructuring to reframe these thoughts into more balanced and realistic ones, which helped reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. I provided patients with practical skills to manage their symptoms and cope with stress. These skills included problem-solving techniques, relaxation exercises, and assertiveness training, which empowered patients to handle challenging situations more effectively.
Eclectic
I conducted thorough assessments to understand each patient's unique needs, strengths, and challenges. This involved evaluating their mental health history, current symptoms, and personal goals. Based on the assessment, I developed individualized treatment plans that incorporated a variety of therapeutic techniques.
