Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Aldo Hernandez uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside mindfulness techniques to help clients tackle a range of concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be effective for anxiety, panic, and stress-related issues. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to support people who struggle with intense emotions and relationship challenges. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can aid in managing anger, anxiety, and compulsive patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Aldo works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors techniques and tools so therapy feels practical and relevant to everyday life.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access consistent care without commuting. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, allow therapy to fit into busy routines, and can help maintain continuity of care while supporting meaningful progress with licensed professionals and therapists.
