Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Alberto commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy along with client-centered methods. CBT focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, or mood concerns, offering practical strategies clients can practice between sessions. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and building psychological flexibility, helping people accept difficult thoughts while moving toward meaningful goals. Client-centered therapy centers the client's own perspective and experience, creating space for empathetic listening and collaborative goal setting.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore which methods align with their needs, preferences, and goals, and adapts the plan over time based on what is most helpful.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow for scheduling flexibility and different ways to engage based on comfort and convenience. These formats make it possible to work on skills, receive coaching, and maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into daily life.
