Approaches for Online Support and Healing
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person as the expert in their own life and emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration - it helps clients who need support exploring values, building self-awareness, and setting meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches skills to change behaviors and emotional responses - it is often effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a structured therapy that can help process distressing memories and trauma by using guided attention and bilateral stimulation to reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Pedro works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they tailor a plan that may combine techniques from different approaches to support growth and resilience.
Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations. These options allow therapy to be delivered in ways that suit individual routines and communication styles.
