Practical Online Therapy Grounded in Evidence-Based Approaches
Richard Gonzalez draws from well-established approaches to help clients address stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and life transitions in a way that feels clear and doable.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. It can be especially helpful when anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful patterns keep showing up, and the goal is to build skills for responding differently in daily life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports clients in making room for difficult emotions while staying connected to personal values. It can be a strong fit for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in cycles of avoidance, and who want to move toward what matters even when life feels hard.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, respectful style that helps clients strengthen their own motivation for change. It is often useful when someone feels ambivalent, unsure where to start, or wants support making sustainable decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Richard works collaboratively with clients to tailor therapy based on needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as things evolve.
Online therapy also offers flexibility. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into real life and stay engaged between appointments.
