How Alejandro's Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people accept difficult feelings while moving toward what matters to them. It can help with anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is useful for stress, panic, low mood, and sleep difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on emotions and how they shape connection and closeness, which can help with relationship and intimacy-related concerns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alejandro will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they figure out which methods to try. The plan can change as the work progresses so it fits real life and delivers usable tools.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can support quick reflections, homework follow-up, or steady contact between sessions. These formats help fit therapy into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
