Remote sessions with skills-focused and insight-oriented work
Mario offers online sessions that combine attention to patterns of thinking with practical skill building. He helps people explore the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions so they can better understand recurring patterns. That insight work is balanced with exercises that target emotional regulation and coping strategies, giving people tangible tools to use between sessions.
Therapy is collaborative: Mario tailors techniques to each person’s needs and works with them to set goals and practice new approaches. This can suit someone who wants both clarity about why certain reactions happen and hands-on strategies to respond differently. Sessions are available by video, by phone, through live chat, or via text-based messaging to accommodate different preferences and schedules.
