Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing practical alternatives. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people explore and strengthen their own reasons for change. It is useful for addressing ambivalence around issues such as addiction, career transitions, or other life changes.

Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by examining the stories they tell about their lives and considering alternative narratives. It can be helpful for grief, identity concerns, relationship patterns, and reworking long-standing problem themes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alberto works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how care is delivered. Video calls and phone sessions allow for face-to-face conversation from home, while live chat and text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing communication between sessions. For many people, these options make it easier to maintain regular contact with licensed professionals and continue therapeutic work despite busy schedules or geographic distance.
