Remote sessions tailored to skills and relational work
Ricardo integrates cognitive behavioral strategies with relational exploration in remote sessions. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy he helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and introduces practical skills for managing anxiety, stress, and mood. Attachment-Based Therapy provides space to explore how early and current relationships shape responses, communication, and intimacy concerns.
Sessions are also grounded in a Client-Centered stance that emphasizes active listening and collaboration; Ricardo positions himself as a sounding board who works alongside the client to set goals and track progress. Together they identify which methods fit best for addressing trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions.
Remote appointments can be conducted via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options are offered so that the therapeutic process can proceed through whatever communication method best supports the client’s engagement and needs.
