Online and remote therapy options
Dr. Franco offers remote sessions that accommodate English and Spanish speakers using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Online work is informed by several clinical approaches so modality choice and session style can be matched to the topic at hand and the person’s preferred way of engaging.He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress and mood concerns, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to explore values and practical steps for living a meaningful life alongside difficult inner experience. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of his toolkit when relationship histories and interpersonal patterns are central to the presenting concern. These approaches can be used separately or integrated depending on the individual’s needs and goals.
Clients who prefer structured skill-building may find CBT and ACT approaches a good fit, while those focused on relational patterns often work collaboratively with attachment and Imago-informed techniques. Remote sessions are available across the listed communication formats to suit different preferences and schedules.
