Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps build insight, self-acceptance, and personal growth; it can be useful for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building, and it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many mood-related challenges.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps strengthen a person’s motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and building confidence; it is often applied in addiction treatment and behavior change work.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Hector works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match individual needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors techniques over time based on what is helping the client make progress.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and makes it easier to maintain continuity of care from different locations. These options allow clients to choose the format that fits their routine and comfort level while working with therapists trained to provide effective remote support.
