Background and approach
Early meetings emphasize collaboration. Enrique and a client create a plan with clear goals, steps, and simple strategies to practice between sessions. Typical sessions last about 45 minutes and include education, role-play, and problem solving.
He helps people learn how to notice unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. Homework and self-assessments are used to track progress and reinforce new habits. Enrique aims to make therapy feel doable and relevant.
He emphasizes small, repeatable actions that fit daily life. The focus is on developing skills people can use long after sessions end.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Enrique commonly uses integrative, evidence-based techniques tailored to the client's needs. One common strand is skills-based work that focuses on building routines, coping strategies, and behavioral changes to reduce stress and manage anxiety. This involves practicing simple tasks, role-play, and homework to make new habits stick.Another common element is problem-solving and behavioral activation for depression and low motivation. These techniques break problems into manageable steps, set small achievable goals, and track progress to restore daily functioning. They work well for people facing life changes, grief, or mood difficulties.
Choosing the best approach is a team effort. Enrique collaborates with each person to identify goals, try different methods, and adjust techniques based on what helps. The process is practical and flexible so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when they prefer a visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in fits a break at work. Live chat or text messaging can support short updates, homework check-ins, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
