Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and centered on the person’s real concerns. She helps people break problems into small steps and practice skills between meetings. Her background includes helping people cope with isolation, guilt, shame, and struggles around forgiveness.
She also supports those who want to improve communication and grow self-love. These topics are woven into goal-focused work that matches each person’s pace. Ligia uses ways of working that are backed by research and adapted to each person.
She checks in about what is helping and what needs to change so therapy stays useful. Progress is tracked in everyday terms, like better sleep, fewer arguments, or more confidence at work. Licensed in California as a LCSW, Ligia offers phone, video, chat, and text sessions.
She knows starting therapy takes courage and aims to make the first steps as clear and manageable as possible.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Ligia uses evidence-based techniques focused on practical change. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking and behaving. This method is useful for anxiety, low mood, and problems with self-confidence.Another common strand of work focuses on emotion skills and coping strategies. This approach teaches ways to tolerate strong feelings, reduce overwhelm, and handle stressful moments. It fits well for people dealing with life changes, guilt, shame, or isolation.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the first steps in therapy. Ligia works collaboratively to figure out what fits a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan if something isn’t helping.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video lets people use facial cues and body language, while phone sessions use less bandwidth. Live chat and text are useful for short check-ins, written reflection, or when it helps not to be on camera. These options support flexible scheduling and steady progress over time.
