Approaches that guide online sessions
Ramon often uses client-centered methods that begin by hearing the client's priorities and building a plan around them. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through what matters and to set realistic goals together.He also applies cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and behaviors that keep people stuck. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used to teach emotional regulation and mindfulness, which can help with anger, strong mood swings, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ramon collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time as goals change.
Online sessions take place as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video is good for more involved discussions and skills practice. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, more frequent contact for coaching, reminders, or brief support between longer sessions.
