Therapeutic approaches and online care

Teodoro often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools. Client-centered therapy means sessions begin with open, nonjudgmental listening so the client's goals guide the work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

He also uses motivational interviewing to help people find internal reasons to change. That approach is useful for substance use, ambivalence about treatment, and starting new habits. Each method is described and applied in straightforward ways during sessions so clients can try ideas between meetings.

Finding the right approach is a joint effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they adjust methods over time until the plan fits the client's needs.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth conversations that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, tracking steps between meetings, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions from different locations.
