Online support

Approaches that guide online care

Alejandro uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without letting those thoughts dictate action; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns and build concrete coping strategies for panic, sleep problems, and mood shifts. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship and intimacy work is the focus, helping people name emotions and practice new ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alejandro collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and life demands. He adjusts techniques over time and checks in about what helps most.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is often used for full sessions and nonverbal cues, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing tracking between meetings. These formats let people fit help into work, parenting, or other daily routines.
