How evidence-based methods are used in online sessions
Jorge uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure work on symptoms and life goals. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms; this involves tracking specific situations, reactions, and alternative responses. Another common method centers on processing grief and strong emotions by naming feelings, exploring what they mean, and practicing ways to tolerate and respond to them without becoming overwhelmed.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss different methods with each person and decide collaboratively which techniques fit current needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as circumstances change.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins from a quieter setting. Phone sessions may be useful for shorter check-ins or when lower bandwidth is needed, while video sessions support visual cues and more in-depth conversation.
