Therapeutic approaches and online care

Alberto uses evidence-informed methods that are practical and collaborative. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more effective strategies; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Motivational Interviewing is a patient-centered approach that helps individuals explore ambivalence and strengthen personal motivation for change, especially useful for addictions, career shifts, or goal-directed behavior. Narrative Therapy invites clients to examine the stories they tell about themselves, separate problems from identity, and re-author experiences to build resilience and meaning, which can aid in grief, trauma, and relationship issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alberto works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their goals, needs, and preferences. He adapts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Alberto is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and other commitments. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support when it is needed, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical, goal-oriented work together.
