How Ricardo’s approaches can work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with mood, sleep, and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections and can help people improve trust, communication, and intimacy.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ricardo will talk with each person about goals, challenges, and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to prioritize. He aims to tailor exercises and homework so they fit into everyday life and feel manageable.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family, reduce travel time, and let people practice skills from their normal routines. It also allows brief check-ins or focused skill sessions when a shorter touchpoint is helpful. Ricardo uses his clinical approaches to shape sessions that match a client’s needs rather than offering one fixed path.
