Dr. Ciro Visone , MD

Dr. Ciro Visone, MD, brings a neuroscience-informed perspective to psychological care, combining medical training with ten years of clinical experience in California. He focuses on complex and severe mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, adjustment to medical illness, and eating-related disorders, while also addressing neurocognitive conditions like ADHD, traumatic and acquired brain injuries, and memory disorders associated with aging and neurodegenerative disease.

Working from a biopsychosocial orientation, he examines how biological factors, personal history, and social context interact to shape behavior and emotional health. He emphasizes the search for meaning and purpose as a practical route to overcoming difficulties, and adapts treatment plans to each person’s cultural background, values, and individual needs. His approach supports skills development and greater autonomy so individuals can move toward their own definition of self-actualization.

Dr. Visone values a careful review of past influences and decisions to understand their impact on present functioning and future wellbeing. He integrates evidence-based strategies with attention to biological contributors to symptoms, helping people manage mood disorders, trauma, addictions, relationship and family challenges, sleep and appetite concerns, and issues related to aging and chronic illness.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Dr. Visone integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into his online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and commit to meaningful actions - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead to foster insight and self-directed growth - it can be helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and reframe unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, making it effective for mood disorders, anxiety, and many everyday struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Dr. Visone works collaboratively with clients and with other licensed professionals when appropriate to determine which methods best match each person’s goals, preferences, and needs, and he adjusts treatment as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy with Dr. Visone offers practical flexibility - sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which helps people fit care into busy lives and reach support from different locations. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access focused, evidence-informed therapy regardless of scheduling constraints.
