Her way of working is straightforward. She listens and then co-designs a plan that fits practical goals and daily life. Conversations usually focus on what a person is feeling now, what thoughts are getting in the way, and small steps that can change how they respond.

Approaches used in remote sessions and how they help
Barborita often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy. Client-centered work means the conversation starts with the person and their priorities, and the therapist helps shape the plan from there. Cognitive behavioral work looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck and finds practical ways to test and change them.She also uses mindfulness practices to help people notice emotions and bodily sensations without judgment. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when strong feelings like shame or guilt feel overwhelming. The therapist will discuss which methods fit best and adjust approaches as progress is reviewed; deciding on methods is a collaborative part of the work.
