Background and approach
Chronic pain, illness, and disability are included among the issues she helps people cope with. She uses a mix of approaches meant to fit real life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and accepting difficult feelings while moving toward chosen goals. Somatic Therapy is part of her toolbox and can help people notice how stress and emotion show up in the body. Client-Centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques shape how she listens and teaches coping skills during sessions.
Sessions are arranged to match each person's schedule and communication preferences. Dr. Davila Negron emphasizes straightforward plans and small steps people can use between visits.
She encourages anyone taking the first steps toward help to recognize that seeking support is an important decision.
How specific approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult feelings and choose actions that match their values. Online ACT sessions focus on clarifying what matters and building habits that fit daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to test new ways of thinking and behaving. In remote sessions CBT often uses homework and real-time problem solving. Somatic Therapy invites attention to bodily sensations and how stress shows up in the body; online somatic work can include guided awareness, breath and movement methods that are adapted for video or voice-only sessions.Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick approaches that fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs shift, and the plan is revised together based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or health limitations. Remote formats also allow concrete skill practice between sessions and frequent check-ins when helpful.
