04Online support
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Sergio uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management, and it includes practical exercises to try between sessions.He also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process and make sense of painful or frightening experiences. This approach supports recovery by organizing memories and reducing the daily impact of past events.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Sergio will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. The process focuses on clear goals and checking progress together.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during short breaks. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, progress updates, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and other commitments.
