Background and approach
Sessions often focus on clear goals, emotion regulation skills, and steps to improve daily functioning. Clariza helps people build routines, manage difficult feelings, and repair relationship patterns. Her approach blends Systemic therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered listening.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral and dialectical tools when needed to teach coping skills. Clariza works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and body image struggles, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She addresses attachment wounds, abandonment fears, codependency, and communication problems in straightforward terms. Sessions aim to be practical, focused, and paced to what each person can manage.

Online support
How Clariza’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Clariza combines Systemic therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people understand patterns and live by their values. Systemic therapy looks at how relationships and social systems shape behavior and feelings, which is useful for addressing communication problems and roles that keep people stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values even when emotions are hard.She approaches the choice of method collaboratively. Early sessions focus on learning a person’s goals and preferences, then testing techniques to see what fits. The therapist and client decide together whether to emphasize relationship patterns, values work, or skill-building like behavioral strategies and emotion regulation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy days and different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging work well for quick check-ins, shorter skill practice, or people who prefer typing over speaking. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and adapt therapy to changing schedules.
