How Pedro’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy is about listening closely and building the work around the person's priorities. It focuses on understanding each person's experience and helping them set practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and provides exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that uses structured processing to reduce distress linked to past events and can be part of work on trauma and abuse.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Pedro collaborates with clients to decide which methods match their needs and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays useful and realistic for everyday life.

Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are set by the therapist and the platform. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins between longer sessions, or avoid travel time. It also allows continued momentum between in-person visits when that is helpful. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively online, and Pedro will help identify which tools and session rhythms will fit a client's routines and goals.
