Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Marco Guillen
Marco Guillen integrates client-centered therapy by creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's own goals and values guide each session - this approach helps with relationship concerns, life purpose struggles, and issues rooted in self-esteem. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and can be effective for mood disorders, panic symptoms, and many addiction-related problems. In addition, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can support people dealing with impulsivity, anger, and intense emotional reactions.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and Marco works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time based on client feedback and progress.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, offering flexibility around work, family, and geography. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent, accessible care while tailoring session structure to what works best for each client.
