Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Matteo integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing into his online practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and active listening, allowing clients to explore feelings at their own pace and build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, often applied when addressing addictions or lifestyle adjustments.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Matteo works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts methods over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Matteo offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, reduce travel barriers, and maintain continuity of support when in-person visits are not feasible. Licensed professionals can use these formats effectively to provide consistent, accessible therapeutic work.
