Online support

Approaches for change online and in conversation

Dr. De La Loza uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT breaks issues into clear steps so someone can test new ways of thinking and behaving and see what changes.

He also draws on Existential Therapy to talk about meaning, values, and life direction. That approach helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about purpose and wants to make choices that match their core values.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, existential discussion, or a mix fits best. Goals, life demands, and personal preference guide the plan, and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel. Phone sessions can make longer conversations easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life and to keep momentum between meetings.
