Approaches That Inform Online Work with Javier Zuniga



Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships shape emotional patterns and coping. It helps people understand relationship dynamics and build safer, more secure ways of connecting, which can be useful for those struggling with intimacy, family issues, or relationship conflict.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own perspective and innate strengths. The therapist provides empathic listening and support while helping clients clarify goals and make choices that align with their values, making it a good fit for people seeking guidance without directive instruction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that explores links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Javier works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and he adapts methods over time so therapy fits each person’s situation and pace.

Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from different locations. These options provide flexibility in scheduling and in how clients prefer to communicate, supporting consistent progress even when in-person visits are not feasible.
