Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Armando integrates several evidence-informed approaches to help clients navigate emotional and behavioral challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action while learning to accept difficult internal experiences, which can be useful for stress, trauma-related avoidance, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship to support self-exploration and personal growth, often benefiting those coping with grief, relationship issues, or self-esteem concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Armando collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and stage of change, and adapts techniques over time so care remains responsive and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through multiple formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - allowing people to engage in therapy from different locations and on schedules that work for them. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable for the work at hand.
