How evidence-based techniques guide online therapy

Dr. Acosta uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure work on common concerns. One approach involves focused problem-solving and behavioral strategies to address mood and anxiety symptoms; this means identifying small, practical changes and testing them in daily life to reduce distress and build confidence. Another approach emphasizes communication skills and relationship tools to address intimacy, jealousy, commitment issues, and non-monogamous dynamics; sessions can include role practice and feedback to improve how people express needs and set boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Dr. Acosta collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. She adjusts the plan as progress unfolds, combining listening with straightforward guidance so clients can see what works for them.
