Dr. Ciro Visone, MD

Dr. Ciro Visone, MD, brings a neuroscience-informed perspective to psychological care, combining clinical training in neuropsychology, health psychology, and military psychology with ten years of professional experience. He holds an MD and a Doctorate in Clinical Health Psychology - indicating both medical training and advanced clinical expertise - and applies this background to understand how brain, body, and environment interact in emotional and behavioral challenges.

He specializes in severe mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and disorders related to medical illness and eating, while also addressing neurocognitive concerns including ADHD, traumatic and acquired brain injuries, and age-related memory disorders. Working from a biopsychosocial orientation, he integrates biological factors with psychological patterns and social context to create tailored treatment plans.

Dr. Visone emphasizes helping people discover purpose and meaning as part of recovery, while also attending to medical and behavioral contributors to symptoms. He adapts his approach to each person’s culture, needs, and goals, supporting autonomy and gradual steps toward self-defined growth. His practice in California focuses on practical strategies and deeper exploration of past influences to help clients navigate current difficulties and plan for healthier futures.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Visone commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy into online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and supports commitment to personal values - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and chronic difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, and is frequently applied for depression, anxiety, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, empathetic therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead to foster insight and self-directed change.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Visone works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts treatment over time as those needs evolve.

Online therapy with Dr. Visone is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and access from different locations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life while maintaining consistent, goal-oriented work with a licensed professional.
