Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Gregory Rico draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide his online practice. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client’s own goals and perspective, offering empathy and support while helping individuals build self-awareness and confidence; this approach can be especially helpful for concerns around identity, attachment, and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by building skills and new routines. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, a brief, goal-oriented method that emphasizes strengths and small actionable steps to move forward when clients want targeted change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gregory works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors techniques and pacing so therapy aligns with what the client values and hopes to achieve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing clients to meet by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, connect from different locations including international settings, and continue momentum between sessions with in-app messaging when appropriate.
