Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the client is the expert on their own experience. The therapist listens carefully and helps clients clarify goals, build self-awareness, and make choices that reflect their values, making it useful for issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and improving coping skills.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a structured method often used for processing trauma and abuse. It aims to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and support recovery from past events.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Sergio collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care across locations within the region, and access licensed professionals from familiar surroundings while working toward meaningful change.
