How Ciro's Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Ciro integrates attachment-based work with client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods to address emotional and relational difficulties in online sessions. Attachment-based therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current trust, intimacy and coping, helping people heal attachment wounds and build more secure connections. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance and collaboration - the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities while creating space for self-exploration and growth. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression and stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ciro works with each person to understand their needs, goals and preferences and then tailors methods accordingly, adjusting the focus as therapy progresses to find the best fit for lasting change.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to maintain continuity of care, while allowing licensed professionals to use the same therapeutic techniques they would in person to support progress and wellbeing.
