Dr. Ciro Visone, MD

Dr. Ciro Visone is a medical doctor with ten years of clinical experience who combines psychological ideas with knowledge of the brain. He practices in California and speaks English and Italian. He helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, eating concerns, ADHD, mood problems, and life transitions.

He tends to take a practical, goal-focused approach in sessions. He listens to what matters most, then works with people to set clear short-term steps. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with acceptance and meaning-focused approaches to tackle thoughts, behaviors, and values.

Dr. Visone pays attention to how health and the body affect mood and behavior. That means discussing habits, medical issues, sleep, and pain when they are relevant. He also addresses issues such as self-esteem, anger, compulsive habits, and problems at work or in relationships.

Sessions usually involve talking through current problems, testing out small behavior changes, and reviewing what did or did not work. He adapts the plan as people make progress or face setbacks. Cultural background, personal goals, and individual differences guide the pace and focus.

People can meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person chooses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

This therapist often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change eating or addictive patterns. CBT focuses on practical steps and short-term goals that are easy to practice between sessions.

He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters most and take committed action even when uncomfortable feelings remain. ACT can be useful for coping with chronic pain, long-standing anxiety, or life transitions where avoidance has become a pattern.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, values, and daily life. That may mean mixing CBT tasks with acceptance-based exercises and client-centered conversation about personal meaning.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for deeper work and visual cues, phone can fit a break at work or use less bandwidth, and chat or messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or mobility limits.
