She brings 11 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Chiquita speaks English and aims to create a respectful, down-to-earth space for conversations about change.

She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people reframe unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Her background includes work in psychiatric residential settings, intensive in-home services, and outpatient programs for both children and adults.

That range of experience informs her work with trauma, addiction, and grief issues.

Chiquita describes her style as relatable and interactive. She aims to treat people with sensitivity and without stigmatizing labels. Together with each client she tailors conversations and plans to match real goals and life demands.

Clients often bring concerns such as parenting strain, blended family problems, commitment worries, sexual assault and domestic violence recovery, and challenges related to ADHD or bipolar mood patterns. She also supports those facing career shifts, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related difficulties.

How CBT, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused Work Online

Chiquita uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change thought patterns that lead to unhelpful actions. In online sessions she can guide thought records, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step practice that target anxiety, depression, and relationship reactions.

Mindfulness therapy in her work focuses on simple attention and grounding practices. These techniques help with stress, sleep issues, and strong emotions by teaching short exercises people can use between sessions.

Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, realistic steps toward goals. Sessions aim to identify what is working now and build on those strengths, which can be useful for parenting challenges, commitment concerns, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right mix is collaborative. She will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and what feels doable. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into busy days and options for shorter check-ins when needed. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm which formats are offered before booking. This helps ensure scheduling and session length match real-life needs.
