Therapy is offered through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Approaches that fit online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people set their own goals. This approach is useful for people who want a collaborative space to talk through stress, identity questions, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits, which can help with anxiety, panic attacks, and mood problems.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find internal reasons to make changes. It works well for concerns like substance use, lifestyle shifts, or when someone feels stuck and needs support moving forward.
Choosing an approach is a team effort. Pedro will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people see facial cues and do deeper work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, quick coping tools, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while matching each person's schedule and needs.
