Remote sessions and therapeutic approaches
Antonio provides remote options that include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats are used to maintain an ongoing therapeutic connection while adapting to practical needs. He frames online interactions as collaborative encounters in which the client’s goals guide the focus and pace of work.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify patterns of thought and behavior and to develop practical strategies for coping with anxiety, depression, and stress. Sessions using CBT focus on concrete skills, experiments between sessions, and stepwise problem solving.
Client-Centered Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy offer a complementary pathway. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s experience and supports exploration of values and meaning, while Mindfulness Therapy introduces present-moment awareness and self-regulation practices. Together these approaches can suit people seeking both skill-building and a reflective, person-centered space.
