Dr. Ivette Rodriguez, TX Psychologist

How attachment work and skills translate to online care

Dr. Rodriguez draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and past relationships shape current patterns of closeness, trust, and emotional responses. This helps when people struggle with intimacy, abandonment fears, or repeating relationship patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and take small actions toward a meaningful life.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and therapist check in about what feels useful and shift focus when needed, so the plan grows out of shared decision making.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for short check-ins, practicing new skills, or getting support between sessions. These options let people maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into their routines.
