How his approaches translate to online therapy
Arturo uses client-centered work that focuses on the person's priorities and strengths. This approach means sessions begin by listening closely to what the person wants to change and then shaping the work around those goals. It helps people who need practical support and a respectful, collaborative space.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in his practice involves identifying negative thought patterns and trying small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stressful situations because it breaks problems into manageable steps. Mindfulness therapy offers simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional awareness, which pairs well with CBT techniques.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. He works together with each person to decide which approaches feel most helpful based on their needs and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as goals change and progress is made.
