Remote therapy formats and clinical methods
Miano offers remote sessions by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats are used to deliver the same core clinical approaches he practices in person while adapting pacing, exercises, and interaction style to fit each communication method.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is presented in clear, collaborative terms to help identify thinking and behavior patterns and to test alternative responses through practical exercises. Motivational Interviewing supports exploration of ambivalence and clarifies a client’s own reasons for change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and shaping the work around what the client finds most helpful, while Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete, goal-oriented steps.
Sessions are structured collaboratively: clients and Miano set goals together and choose strategies that suit their situation and the chosen remote format. Short-term planning, in-session practice, and homework assignments are adapted for video, phone, chat, or message-based sessions.
