Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Enrique commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves, identify unhelpful patterns, and try out new, more helpful ways of seeing difficult events. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of his work; it focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful steps even when strong emotions are present. Client-Centered Therapy guides his stance in sessions, meaning the person leads the conversation while the therapist offers empathy and reflective listening.Finding the right mix of approaches is a joint process. Enrique will discuss different methods and try options that match your goals and comfort level. He checks in regularly to adjust the approach when something isn’t working and invites feedback so sessions stay practical and relevant.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues, phone sessions work when internet bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging suits short updates or between-session reflection. These formats increase flexibility and let people use what fits their schedule and needs.
