Therapeutic approaches for online support and change
Pedro commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT, and Motivational Interviewing in his online work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping people explore their values and goals while the therapist follows the client’s lead to strengthen self-awareness and resilience. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing concrete strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Motivational Interviewing is a goal-oriented, respectful method that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change, which is often useful for addiction, lifestyle shifts, or commitment concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Pedro works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then adapts techniques so the plan fits the individual’s situation. This collaborative process helps shape a treatment path that feels practical and achievable.
Online therapy with Pedro is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care across life changes. Licensed professionals can deliver meaningful therapeutic work through these formats while keeping the focus on accessibility, flexibility, and the client’s priorities.
