Narrative Therapy in this listing

Online session options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Alberto commonly blends Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about their lives and helps them reframe those stories to reduce shame and open new options. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alberto will work with clients to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. Together they check what helps most and adjust the plan over time so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distance. Phone sessions use less data and can be easier if you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or fit a brief exchange into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while managing work, caregiving, or travel commitments.
