Background and approach

Sessions are tailored to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. She also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative techniques to support change.

These methods are used to help people reframe unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and strengthen motivation. Virgen trained in social work and holds an MD plus social work licenses. She brings about a decade of experience in behavioral health.

That background informs a practical, down-to-earth way of addressing concerns. People who choose Virgen can expect a respectful and compassionate tone. She focuses on helping clients set manageable goals and try small experiments between sessions.

Her aim is to make therapy feel relevant and doable for daily life.

Approaches for online therapy and practical coping

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the clinician. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and letting the client lead the pace of change. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to talk through feelings and make decisions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and to try new behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those tools help when emotions feel overwhelming or when coping strategies need strengthening.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to match methods to goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Sessions can mix techniques and adapt over time as needs change.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be good for shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps maintain momentum between sessions. These options increase flexibility for scheduling and help fit therapy into busy lives.
