Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Agustin often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and experimenting with practical changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and problems that respond to skills practice.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes active listening and building a trusting working relationship. That approach helps when people need space to reflect and decide their own priorities. Solution-Focused Therapy is another tool he brings, helping clients set clear, short-term goals and track progress in small steps.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Agustin will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. He aims to match techniques to what feels useful and manageable for the individual.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or more frequent contact between longer sessions. These options help people keep momentum while working on stress, anger, relationships, and other concerns.
