What can clients do in their personal time to supplement online therapy?

Alejandra Galindo
Alejandra Galindo

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT)

Clients can supplement their time in online therapy with daily skills practice or reflections. I try to make a habit of giving my clients small, manageable tasks to practice each day. I spend time with my clients to build these tasks into their current habits or routines to help establish a new pattern/healthy habit.

What tools do you teach in family therapy?

Alejandra Galindo
Alejandra Galindo

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT)

I teach the following tools in family therapy:
  • Emotion regulation and distress tolerance via mindfulness practice, videos, and worksheets. I work with families to attune to each other physically, emotionally and mentally so they can build insight and confidence in being able to navigate conflicts or disagreements.
  • Self-care tools to reinforce emotion regulation skills
  • Cognitive challenging/reframing/refocusing via the use of cognitive triangles and understanding unhelpful thinking patterns. I encourage families to use worksheets/ handouts to practice their skills daily, and build new habits
  • Exploration of individual roles within the family, and exploration of values (especially with blended families)
  • Healthy communication skills to create positive/supportive relationships, advocate for needs, and build conflict management skills
  • Healthy boundary setting skills that fit within the client’s personal values and family system (work on compromising skills)
  • Positive affirmation and appreciation skills
  • How to repair effectively after an argument or conflict

What should someone do to prepare for starting anxiety therapy?

Alejandra Galindo
Alejandra Galindo

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT)

A first anxiety therapy session can come with so many different emotions. In the first session, I will ask about a lot of different areas in a person’s life to get to know them and understand how they view the world and others around them. It’s important to share as much information as honestly as possible, but my first priority will always be my client’s safety and comfort level. If I ask a tough question, I don’t expect anyone to share every detail- just what they are willing and able to. I encourage my clients to always ask me questions in return because I want my clients to get to know me and feel safe/comfortable. Therapy is most effective when a person can connect with their therapist. You can prepare for therapy further by thinking about your top 2-3 goals, or what it is that you hope to gain from therapy. This helps me to create a more effective approach that fits your needs.

What is your go-to approach for depression counseling?

Alejandra Galindo
Alejandra Galindo

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT)

My go-to approach for treating depression is an eclectic approach. I find the best benefit in an eclectic approach is the flexibility it provides me to adjust to each individual client’s needs. Each person has a unique experience, and upbringing, which can change the level of depression a person is experiencing. I pull tools from CBT, DBT, TF-CBT, Positive Psychology, Trauma Informed Care, and Solution Focused therapies to help clients navigate depression.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.

Mental disorders can often have physical symptoms. As a licensed medical professional, a psychiatric provider can address these symptoms and offer comprehensive care for many forms of mental illness.

To determine the treatment plan that will be right for your needs, your psychiatric provider can guide you through a series of physical and psychological tests. Psychotherapy (talk therapy), medication, or some combination of the two is often required for many conditions. As a medical doctor, they can also can prescribe these treatment options directly or collaborate with other mental health professionals on our staff to help get you back on track.
