Online session options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Many sessions draw on Narrative Therapy, which helps people identify and change the stories that shape their feelings and choices. This approach is useful for issues like emptiness, family of origin concerns, and self esteem challenges because it highlights personal strengths and alternative perspectives.Cesar also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and then taking value-based action despite them. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by teaching practical skills for staying engaged with what matters most.
Attachment-Based Therapy is another influence in his work, concentrating on how early relationships affect current bonds and communication. This can be helpful for relationship and intimacy-related issues, abandonment concerns, or patterns of codependency.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Cesar will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. The intent is to work together, test ideas, and prioritize what feels useful.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different rhythms of life.
