How his approaches translate to online therapy

Sergio commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in his work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and habit change. Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on ways to process and reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic experiences while restoring a sense of safety and routine.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sergio works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. He reviews progress and adjusts strategies so the work stays relevant and practical.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuing treatment during life transitions and helps people practice skills in the settings where they live and work.
