Approaches That Guide Online Sessions

Horacio uses client-centered, existential, and psychodynamic perspectives to inform online work, adapting each to the needs of the person he is supporting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental stance in which the therapist listens closely and supports the client’s own capacity for growth - it is especially helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and exploring personal values.

Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice, and the realities of human experience. It helps people who are wrestling with life transitions, loss, or questions about purpose to clarify priorities and make authentic decisions. Psychodynamic Therapy explores patterns that stem from past experiences and relationships, helping clients understand how these patterns influence current feelings and behaviors.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Horacio works with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and he adapts strategies as the work evolves to ensure the best possible fit with the client’s needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access therapy from different locations and schedules. For many people this format supports consistent engagement, ongoing reflection between sessions, and smoother integration of therapeutic work into everyday life.
