How Andres works

Sessions are collaborative and practical, aimed at helping people notice their strengths and make changes that feel meaningful. He blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness to help people spot unhelpful thinking and use present-moment awareness to respond differently.

Andres also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who want to make behavior changes and narrative therapy to help reframe life stories that feel stuck. People come to him for everyday problems and longer-term struggles.

He helps with parenting challenges, blended family issues, immigration concerns, process addictions such as gambling or pornography, and common life transitions like midlife questions or career shifts. Andres also addresses financial stress, jealousy, impulsivity, and multicultural concerns. Sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful.

Andres offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, users select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a session according to therapist availability.

Online support options

Approaches that translate well to online sessions

Andres often uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions focus on the person's perspective and priorities. This approach helps people set the agenda and move at their own pace, whether they need space to process emotions or practical problem solving.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT works well online for anxiety, mood changes, and habit patterns because tools and exercises can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Andres will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. He adjusts techniques over time based on what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit into busy days or provide written reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
