Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Federico uses client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to guide online work with clients. Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective and creating a supportive space for self-exploration - it is helpful for building self esteem and processing difficult feelings. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, making it practical for anxiety, stress, and depression. DBT offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be particularly useful for managing intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Federico collaborates with each person to determine which techniques best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the issues at hand.

Online therapy with Federico can be delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent care from home or other convenient locations, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on practical strategies and progress.
