Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Marcelo Gonzalez
Marcelo integrates evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes accepting difficult thoughts and emotions while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action - an approach that can help with anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for problems such as anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and many everyday stressors. Client-Centered Therapy centers the relationship, offering empathic, nonjudgmental support that helps people explore identity, build self-esteem, and strengthen agency.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Marcelo works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. That collaboration helps shape a treatment plan that blends practical skills with deeper exploration as needed.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access care around work, family, and geographic constraints. These options let licensed professionals and therapists maintain continuity of support and adapt session formats to what works best for each individual.
