Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Alexsandro uses approaches that translate well to remote work and focus on practical change and personal understanding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being led by them, and supports action based on personal values; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence present-day connections, which can help with intimacy, abandonment issues, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, non-directive relationship in which the therapist offers empathy and unconditional positive regard to help clients access their own resources and make meaningful choices.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Alexsandro works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the work as those needs evolve.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or to connect across time zones. These options increase accessibility for clients who live abroad, have mobility limits, or prefer different communication styles, while still allowing therapists to provide structured, compassionate support.
