Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Jorge integrates several evidence-informed approaches to support change and understanding. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship that helps people explore their values and goals while feeling heard and understood - it is useful for strengthening self-awareness and improving relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) combines practical skill-building with examination of unhelpful thoughts and patterns, offering tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change behaviors that cause distress. Psychodynamic Therapy attends to deeper patterns that develop over time and influence current relationships and self-concept - it can be helpful when someone wants to gain insight into long-standing emotional difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jorge works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts interventions as therapy progresses. This collaborative stance helps tailor care to the individual rather than applying a fixed model.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are delivered - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to maintain continuity of care alongside work, family, and other responsibilities. For many people, remote options increase accessibility and allow therapists and licensed professionals to meet clients where they are, supporting consistent progress over time.
