About Ciro
Dr. Ciro Visone is a psychologist based in California with ten years of clinical experience. He blends psychological perspectives with an understanding of how the brain affects behavior. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, eating problems, ADHD, addictions, grief, sleep troubles, and other life changes.
He takes a practical, person-focused approach. Sessions aim to identify what matters to the client, then build steps toward those goals. He adjusts methods to fit individual needs and cultural background, and pays attention to how health and brain function shape thoughts and actions.
Dr. Visone draws on several evidence-informed approaches to help people learn new skills and perspectives. He often uses techniques that clarify values, change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and deepen self-understanding. Therapy can include coaching-style work for life purpose and career concerns as well as support for mood and impulse control problems.
He also brings experience with aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness and pain, body image and eating-related matters, and veteran and armed forces issues. This background informs how he frames goal-setting and practical supports for everyday life.
Sessions are offered in English and Italian. People interested in starting are asked to use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.
Approaches that translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to you and taking small committed steps toward those values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by teaching practical strategies to notice thoughts and keep moving toward goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses straightforward exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new coping skills for problems like panic, low mood, sleep disruption, and compulsive behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and understanding without judgment. It helps people feel heard, gain perspective, and develop their own solutions over time. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then recommend methods to try. That plan can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge. If you are considering online sessions, confirm the supported session formats before booking. Generally, remote work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, sessions can be scheduled around work, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about timing and format options when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling fits your routine.Areas of expertise
