How Alberto’s Approaches Work Online
Alberto commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in his online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety or depression. Motivational Interviewing focuses on building a person’s own motivation to make changes, which can be useful for career shifts, addiction, or lifestyle goals.He also draws from Narrative Therapy when it helps to reframe a person’s story and see patterns more clearly. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alberto will talk with each client about goals and preferences, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and practice new skills between sessions.
