How Matteo’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person’s own goals. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them clarify what matters. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, grief, and coping with life changes.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress management.
Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It uses gentle questions and feedback to build motivation for things like addressing addictions or making lifestyle shifts.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Matteo will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences, and he adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video when helpful or choose appointments that better match work and life rhythms.
