His work pays attention to cultural context and men's mental health, and he helps people explore identity, fatherhood issues, and financial or workplace challenges when they come up.
Esteban draws on Motivational Interviewing to strengthen commitment to change and on Solution-Focused techniques to build on existing strengths.

Online approaches that fit your life
Esteban often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and works well for anxiety, stress, low mood, and social anxiety by teaching skills people can use day to day.He also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people build motivation and commitment for change. This approach is useful for addressing addictions, impulsivity, and goals like parenting or workplace improvements by focusing on a person’s own reasons for change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Esteban discusses goals and preferences with each person and then tailors methods together. That collaborative process helps pick techniques that feel doable and match what a person wants to achieve.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people have a full conversation and read facial cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, and day-to-day demands.
