04Online support
Practical approaches for online care
Amargo uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT focuses on small experiments and skills people can use between sessions to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address patterns that feed depression or bipolar symptoms.Mindfulness Therapy is offered to teach simple attention and grounding practices. These exercises help with emotional regulation, stress management, and staying present during difficult moments. Motivational Interviewing is also used when someone is weighing changes, such as cutting back substance use or starting new routines; it supports personal motivation and clear next steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques based on their goals, day-to-day demands, and what feels most helpful. This is adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and teaching skills with visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text messaging work for brief check-ins, homework review, or shorter coaching-style support, which adds flexibility for busy schedules.
