How integrative approaches translate to online care

Dr. Rodrigues uses an integrative mix of therapeutic ideas that combine eastern and western perspectives with evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One approach emphasizes mindfulness and body-aware practices to help reduce stress and calm anxiety; these practices teach simple ways to notice and regulate tension in daily life. Another approach uses modern, evidence-informed psychotherapy methods to address mood, grief, and relationship patterns by identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of relating.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to learn about each person’s needs and goals, and then adapts techniques to fit those aims. Clients and therapist review what’s working and adjust the plan together as therapy progresses.

For online work, please confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut down on travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use approaches such as guided mindfulness exercises or reflective homework between sessions without needing to come into an office.
