Approaches that guide online sessions

Alberto often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by focusing on concrete changes. He also draws on motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and strengthen their own reasons for change, which is useful for career shifts, addictions, or finding new routines.

Narrative work is part of his approach too; it helps people tell and reorder their personal stories so difficult events fit into a broader life perspective. Together, these approaches give both short-term tools and longer-term meaning-making. Alberto treats finding the right approach as a team effort. He will listen to your goals, try methods that match what you need, and adjust the plan as you go. This collaborative process helps make sure the techniques fit your pace and priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video lets you keep a face-to-face rhythm while avoiding travel. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins or faster scheduling possible and can support steady momentum between appointments. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and to pick the format that works best for each session.
