Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Alberto commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, and he may incorporate Narrative Therapy when helpful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical strategies to change them - it is often effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people find their own motivation for change and is useful for coping with addictions, career transitions, or ambivalence about change. Narrative Therapy helps clients examine the stories they tell about themselves, separate problems from identity, and build alternative narratives that support healing and growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Alberto will collaborate with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so the plan fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access care around work schedules, family responsibilities, and geographic limits. These options allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care and adapt to the way clients prefer to communicate while pursuing meaningful change.
