Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values even when emotions are hard. It is useful for anxiety, stress, addiction patterns, and situations where motivation feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep and eating issues, and attention-related challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotional experience and connection, which can be useful for relationship strain, intimacy issues, and processing grief.Finding the best fit is part of the work. Ricardo collaborates with each person to choose which approaches make sense for their goals and preferences. He adjusts methods over time so sessions stay helpful and focused on the outcomes the client wants.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, and flexible communication between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while maintaining consistent progress.
