Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust. It helps people explore attachment needs, heal from abandonment or insecure attachment experiences, and build more secure ways of relating to partners and family members.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and follows the clientâs lead. This approach supports people working through self-esteem, life transitions, and decisions by honoring their values and promoting self-directed growth.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and impulsivity by teaching skills that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Dario collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, and different comfort levels with communication. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from licensed professionals without requiring travel.
