How Hector works
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change and wants to find their own reasons to move forward. Hector has particular experience with drug and alcohol addiction and process addictions like gambling or problematic sexual behaviors. He also addresses stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes.
He offers focused work on control issues, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and men’s issues. He has worked with first responders and Veterans and understands the stresses those roles can bring. Hector adapts sessions to each person’s needs and helps set concrete goals and steps for recovery.
His style is firm when needed and supportive at the same time. Sessions are offered from Florida and are conducted in English. Hector uses tools that encourage clear problem solving, accountability, and steady progress toward goals.

Online support options
Approach-driven online care that fits your life
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making the session about your experience. The therapist follows your lead, helps you clarify what matters, and supports the goals you set. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Hector will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape clear short-term goals and steps that are reviewed as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and deeper work, while phone sessions can be easier when a quieter setting or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, between-session accountability, or more frequent contact when a shorter check-in is helpful.
