Therapeutic approaches for online care and support
Miguel uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where clients lead the process and their experiences guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and building on individual strengths to address relationship concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions.
He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and mood-related challenges. CBT focuses on clear goals and techniques that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy, and Miguel works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore options, adjust strategies as needed, and prioritize what feels most useful for the client.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into a busy life or to continue care during transitions. Remote formats allow licensed professionals to offer consistent support and practical tools while accommodating different schedules and communication preferences.
